Functional areas
You can use functional areas to analyze rule violations in context of Identity Audit for different SAP functions. You can enter criteria that provide information about risks from rule violations for functional areas and SAP functions.
To analyze rule checks for different areas of your company in the context of identity audit, you can set up functional areas. Functional areas can be assigned to hierarchical roles and service items. You can enter criteria that provide information about risks from rule violations for functional areas and hierarchical roles. To do this, you specify how many rule violations are permitted in a functional area or a role. You can enter separate assessment criteria for each role, such as a risk index or transparency index.
Moreover, functional areas can be replaced by peer group analysis during request approvals or attestation cases.
