Identity Governance & Administration (IGA) encompasses all the processes, guidelines, and technologies an organization uses to control who is allowed to access which systems and data – and on what basis. It’s not just about creating users or assigning roles, but about establishing a comprehensive framework in the form of an authorization concept – from requests and approvals to regular reviews and the secure deactivation of access.
In modern system landscapes, authorization concepts are more important than ever – and at the same time, they are becoming increasingly complex. Hybrid infrastructures comprise both on-premises systems and cloud solutions. Each of these environments has its own access mechanisms, its own role models, and its own risk profiles.
No one knows exactly who is responsible for which role or which user. Changes are delayed, and responsibilities are passed back and forth – until the situation becomes critical during the audit.
Users are created on an ad hoc basis, and roles are assigned generously – without a defined process for onboarding, offboarding, or role changes. The result: uncontrolled authorization landscapes.
Every system and every project team defines roles according to its own scheme. Without uniform naming conventions and design guidelines, a system becomes impossible to maintain or understand.
SoD conflicts (SoD = segregation of duties), critical authorizations, and technical emergency user accounts lie dormant in the system, unnoticed – and become a problem during the next audit.
SAP S/4HANA, SAP Business Technology Platform, SAP SuccessFactors, SAP Ariba – each SAP system is considered separately. There is no overarching security framework that covers all systems.
Without clear technical guidelines, roles are created that are too broad, redundant, or do not follow the principle of least privilege – a persistent security risk.
In our Power Workshop for SAP Authorizations, we review your existing authorization concept together with you to determine whether it covers current requirements. A key focus is on the aspect of future viability, which we realize through maintainability, efficient functionality and maximum security. Whether your authorizations need a redesign or just a revision and what your path to SAP S/4HANA will look like, we work out on the basis of your individual prerequisites and requirements.
SAP S/4HANA brings with it various new processes and technologies that did not previously exist in this way in SAP ERP. There are also differences in the authorization concepts between SAP S/4HANA and previous ERP versions from SAP that must be taken into account to ensure smooth user Access.
