Base Data for SAP Functions

Base Data for SAP Functions

The following base data is relevant for SAP Functions:

  • Configuration parameter

    Use configuration parameters to configure the behavior of the system's basic settings. One Identity Manager provides default settings for different configuration parameters. Check the configuration parameters and modify them as necessary to suit your requirements.

    Configuration parameters are defined in the One Identity Manager modules. Each One Identity Manager module can also install configuration parameters. You can find an overview of all configuration parameters in the category Base data | General | Configuration parameters in the Designer.

    For more information, see Appendix: Configuration Parameters for SAP Functions.

  • SAP function categories

    Use SAP function categories to group SAP functions by specific criteria. For more information, see SAP Function Categories.

  • Functional areas

    Functional areas can be used as an additional group characteristic for SAP functions. Furthermore, you can use functional areas to analyze rule violations in context of Identity Audit for different SAP functions. For more information, see Functional areas.

  • Maintaining SAP functions

    An SAP function can be assigned to employees that manage the SAP functions and there for can edit the working copies. For more information, see Maintaining SAP Functions.

Functional areas

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 man 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.

Example for using Functional Areas

The risk of rule violation should be analyzed for cost centers. Proceed as follows:

  1. Set up functional areas.
  2. Assign cost centers to the functional areas.
  3. Define assessment criteria for the cost centers.
  4. Define assessment criteria for the functional areas.
  5. Assign compliance rules required for the analysis to the functional area.
  6. Use the One Identity Manager report function to create a report that prepares the result of rule checking for the functional area by any criteria.

To edit functional areas

  1. Select the category Identity Audit | Basic configuration data | Functional areas.
  2. Select the functional area in the result list. Select Change master data in the task view.
