About this episode
Listen to the SAP Security & GRC podcast – helping you on your journey to effective access risk management in SAP.
In our latest technical series episode, we unpack one of the most important building blocks in SAP authorisations: single roles. Our experts explore the different ways organisations design single roles to balance provisioning efficiency, SoD risk reduction, and long-term maintainability.
Key Takeaways:
🔹 The difference between task/functional roles and value/enabler roles
🔹 Why some companies prefer job-role-based design for easier provisioning
🔹 The hidden pitfalls of job roles — including SOD risk and over-allocation
🔹 How parent & derived roles simplify maintenance across large landscapes
🔹 The role methodologies that influence risk, licensing and long-term scalability
