Basics SAP Authorizations including Fiori - Online Training
Reference User
Dialogue users are intended for use by natural persons who log in to the SAP system via SAP GUI (dialogue login). The dialogue user is therefore the most frequently used user type. The defined password rules apply to him. If the password is set by the administrator, it will get Initial status and must be set by the user at login again to get Productive status.
Your system has inactive users? This is not only a security risk, as they often use an initial password, but also creates unnecessary licence costs. There will always be inactive users in your SAP system. There may be several reasons for this. For example, they may be management level users that are virtually unused because they are not using the ERP system. It could also be that employees no longer use their SAP user due to a change of position or that outsiders do not work on the SAP system for a while. In any case, you should ensure that these inactive users are either blocked or invalidated. Up to now, you had to select all inactive users with the help of the RSUSR200 report and then manually transfer them into the SU10 transaction to perform the blocking. You can now do this automatically.
Identify Executable Transaction Codes
For even more extensive operations on jobs, there must be an authorization for object S_BTCH_ADM, in which the field BTCADMIN (identifier for the batch administrator) has the value 'Y'. This allows cross-client operations on any job. S_BTCH_ADM with value 'Y' thus also contains the objects S_BTCH_JOB action * and S_BTCH_NAM and S_BTCH_NA1 with user/program = *. Therefore, this is a very critical authorization because it allows an identity change. With the changes mentioned in note 1702113, the S_BTCH_ADM object can be used to restrict the authorization assignment more precisely.

The P_ABAP (HR-Reporting) authorization object is not required to execute reports, but is intended to improve performance during execution. In addition, it can be used when reports require permissions for info types that the user should not receive in other cases, which is more common. For example, the right to display information type 0008 (basic salary) is also required for the execution of the travel statement reports. The Invoice Payer Programmes also require P_ABAP permissions to process personal data.
