Insight Publisher – Authorization Guide

Overview

The SAP authorization concept protects transactions, programs, and services in SAP systems
from unauthorized access. To access business objects or execute SAP transactions, a user
requires corresponding authorizations, as business objects or transactions are protected by
authorization objects.

Insight-SAP Products adeher SAP authorization with no exception!

Insight-SAP was designed to enable on-Production working thus, it was designed – bottom-up – with Authorization in mind. Note, that Insight-SAP fully adheres to the SAP authorization concept and uses it as its corner-stone. In no case, Insight-SAP will allow, authorization-wise, things that SAP standard does not.

Insight-SAP suite (Insight Creator and the additional modules IDoc Monitor+, and Changer, Insight Publisher and the additional module Excel-In) authorization was built on-top (and using) SAP authorization concept. Thus, whoever invokes a transaction using one of the suite’s products, must first have the Authorization needed to invoke that transaction.

Actually, using Insight-SAP tools, one may enforce additional authorization checks per objects (report/query/DB table). The checks could be done either at a Record level (just like it’s done by standard SAP code) and at a Column level.
