Role-design: Articles & Insights

A brownfield conversion carries your roles over as they are: every SoD conflict, every unused transaction, every workaround added since go-live. A pre-conversion authorization health check baselines SoD on ECC, removes unused access, maps successor transactions and Fiori apps into the ruleset, and designs SoD-free composite roles, in parallel with the migration project.

A practical guide to SAP authorization design that holds up in production. Covers role architecture, naming conventions, organizational value strategy, least privilege enforcement, critical access monitoring, and the change governance process that keeps your landscape clean over time.

Role redesign projects typically stretch across months of consultant workshops, spreadsheet gymnastics, and back-and-forth validation cycles. The AI Role Designer collapses this into an iterative conversation: provide a functional blueprint, let AI analyze historical usage, generate a new role concept, run risk analysis, and refine until clean. Then build the roles, whether manually or through AI connected directly to SAP.
