  A GRC solution does not fail because risks exist — it fails when the business does not see them early enough

  In many organisations, access risks remain hidden in IT reports, while the people approving access lack a clear business view.

  • In cloud and FUE-based licensing models, poor access decisions can become direct cost decisions. Unnecessary roles, unused authorisations and over-approved access can quickly translate into avoidable license exposure.
  • The real challenge is not having more GRC functionality, but making risk understandable for the business. Business users need clear, practical guidance before they approve access — not after costs or audit findings appear.
  • Modern GRC must connect access risk, business ownership and license impact. A usable, business-centric approach helps organisations prevent unnecessary risks and costs before they are built into the authorisation landscape.

  SAP Authorizations: Access Controls for CDS Views

  Descripción

  In S/4HANA, data access is primarily handled via Core Data Services (CDS). CDS views defined using this service are utilized in the development of ABAP applications, Fiori apps, analytical reports, and APIs.

  In addition to the classic authorization check using 'AUTHORITY-CHECK', SAP offers the option to assign access controls to a CDS view; these controls then handle the filtering of authorized data.

  This tutorial (webinar) demonstrates the impact of access controls on the authorization concept, particularly regarding tasks such as role definition and the analysis of authorization errors.

  Topics

  • What are CDS views?

  • How are access controls defined, and what needs to be considered?

  • How and where in the system does the authorization check via access controls

  take place?

  • What does "privileged access" mean?

  • How do access controls affect an authorization trace?

  • How are authorizations for access controls assigned?
