Summary :
In SAP environments, users might encounter anomalies while assigning tables to authorization groups, affecting table access via standard or proxy transactions. Issues include non-useful assignment of tables to the group ‘&NC’ and challenges assigning meaningful authorizations due to expansive group sizes or the 4-character limitation of custom-defined groups. SAP proposes implementing updates using correction instructions in the note, focusing on the new authorization object S_TABU_NAM alongside S_TABU_DIS for refined authority checks affecting table-specific validations. This facilitates a detailed access structure while maintaining legacy system configurations. Reference to notes 1500054 and 1434284 provides further optimization guidelines.
