Using Variables

Using Variables

You can set fixed values for function elements in authorization definitions. You can implement variables to use a function definition for different function instances. For this, the following is valid:

You can also use system variables as well as self-defined variables in the authorization definition. System variables have the following syntax: ${character}+ (example: $AUFART).

Variables must be uniquely identifiable by the authorization check. Therefore, names of self-defined variables may not match system variables or begin with system variable name.

Creating Function Definitions

A working copy is added to the database for every function definition. Edit the working copies to create function definitions and change them. The changes are not passed on to the production function definition until the working copy is enabled. SAP authorizations are only checked on the basis of active function definitions.

To create a new function definition

1. Select the category Identity Audit | SAP functions | Function definitions.
2. Click in the result list toolbar.
3. Enter the function definition master data.
4. Save the changes.

   This adds a working copy.

5. Select Enable working copy from the task view. Confirm the security prompt with OK.

   This adds an enabled rule in the database. The working copy is retained and can be used to make changes later.

To edit an existing function definition

1. Select the category Identity Audit | SAP functions | Function definitions.
   1. Select the function definition in the result list.
