Identity Manager 8.1.5 - Administration Guide for the SAP R/3 Compliance Add-on

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:

Table 13: Variables specification

Property

Specification

Variable name

Begins with a letter
Only contains letters, numbers, and underscore
Is enclosed in $ signs

Example: $Var_01$

NOTE: Variable names cannot begin with system variable names.

Value

Syntax (example)	SAP authorization is tested for	Example for value in the SAP system
*	Any value	abc \| 1234
Any string (from)	Exact given value	abc
[*]	The value *	*
String[] (abc[])	Value	from*
String* (abc[*])	Values beginning with the given string and ending with any string	abc* \| abcd
Comma delimited list (abc, 1234, d*)	A value contained in the list	ab \| 1234 \| c* \| cde

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.

NOTE: One Identity Manager users with the Identity & Access Governance | Identity Audit | Maintain SAP functions application role can edit existing working copies for which they are listed as responsible in the master data.

To create a new function definition

Select the Identity Audit | SAP functions | Function definitions category.
Click in the result list.
Enter the function definition master data.
Save the changes.
This adds a working copy.
Select the Enable working copy task. Confirm the security prompt with OK.
This adds an enabled function definition in the database. The working copy is retained and can be used to make changes later.

To edit an existing function definition

Select the Identity Audit | SAP functions | Function definitions category.
1. Select the function definition in the result list.
2. Select the Create working copy task.
  The data from the existing working copy are overwritten with the data from the active function definition, after prompting. The working copy is opened and can be edited.
- OR -

Select Identity Audit | SAP functions | Function definition working copies.
1. Select a working copy in the result list.
2. Select the Change master data task.
Edit the working copy's master data.
Save the changes.
Select the Enable working copy task. Confirm the security prompt with OK.
The changes to the working copy are transferred to the active function definition.

General master data for a function definition

Table 14: Configuration parameters for risk assessment of SAP functions
Configuration parameter	Effect when set
QER \| CalculateRiskIndex	Preprocessor relevant configuration parameter controlling system components for calculating an employee's risk index. Changes to the parameter require recompiling the database. If the parameter is enabled, values for the risk index can be entered and calculated.

Enter the following master data for a function category.

Table 15: Master data for a function definition
Property	Description
Function definition	Name of the SAP function.
Functional area	The SAP function is valid for this functional area.
Function category	Grouping criteria for the SAP function. To create a new function categories, click . Enter the name and a description of the function category.
Manager/supervisor	Application role whose members are responsible for the function definition in terms of content. To create a new application role, click . Enter the application role name and assign a parent application role.
Authorization objects	Spare text field for entering information about the authorization objects that are used in the function definitions.
Risk index	Defines the risk for the company if an SAP user account matches this SAP function. Use the slider to enter a value between 0 and 1. 0 ... no risk 1 ... Every SAP user account that matches the SAP function poses a problem. The field is only visible if the "QER \| CalculateRiskIndex" configuration parameter is set.
Risk index (reduced)	Show the risk index taking mitigating controls into account. An SAP function’s risk index is reduced by the significance reduction of all mitigating controls assigned to it. The risk index (reduced) is calculated for the original SAP function. To copy the value to a working copy, run the Create working copy task. The field is only visible if the “QER \| CalculateRiskIndex” configuration parameter is set. The value is calculated by One Identity Manager and cannot be edited.
Severity code	Specifies what it means to the company (or the assigned functional area) when an SAP user matches this SAP function. Enter a value between 0 and 1. 0 ... only information 1 ... Every SAP user account that matches the SAP function requires changes to the affected SAP authorizations.
Significance	Enter a verbal description of the effects on the company (or the functional area) when an SAP user matches this SAP function. In the default installation value list is displayed with the entries {NONE, ‘low’, ‘average’, ‘high’, ‘critical’}.
Description	Text field for additional explanation.
working copy	Specifies whether this is a working copy of the function definition.
