Free Practice Questions for SAP C_SEC_2405 Exam

In SAP systems, activated OData services are assigned the object type IWSV (SAP Gateway Business Suite Enablement-Service) in transaction SU24. SU24 is used to maintain authorization defaults for transactions and services, and for OData services, which power SAP Fiori apps, the IWSV object type represents the service definitions required for front-end and back-end communication. When an OData service is activated, its authorization requirements, such as the S_SERVICE authorization object with the SRV_NAME field, are linked to the IWSV type in SU24, ensuring that these are proposed when the service is added to a PFCG role. The HTTP object type is not used for OData services, G4BA relates to OData V4 services, and IWSG represents service group metadata, not activated services. By associating OData services with IWSV in SU24, SAP ensures that authorization maintenance is streamlined, enabling secure and efficient access to Fiori apps while aligning with the system’s authorization framework.

SAP Business Technology Platform (BTP) distinguishes between Business users and Platform users. Business users are end-users who access applications, such as SAP Fiori apps or custom solutions, hosted on BTP to perform business tasks. Their access is managed via role collections that grant permissions to specific business functionalities. Platform users, in contrast, are administrators or developers who manage the BTP environment, including subaccounts, services, and configurations, using tools like the BTP Cockpit. They have administrative privileges to configure and deploy applications. Key users, while relevant in some SAP contexts, are not a distinct BTP user type, often overlapping with business users. Technical users are not a standard category in BTP’s user classification, as their functions are covered by platform users or system accounts. This distinction ensures clear separation of responsibilities, enabling secure and efficient management of BTP resources while supporting business operations and administrative tasks in a cloud-based environment.

To evaluate catalog menu entries and authorization default values for IWSG (SAP Gateway Service Groups Metadata) and IWSV (SAP Gateway Business Suite Enablement-Service) applications, the SUIM (System User Information System) reports “Search Startable Applications in Roles” and “By Authorization Object” are used. The “Search Startable Applications in Roles” report identifies roles that include startable applications, such as IWSG and IWSV, by analyzing menu entries in PFCG roles, providing insight into which applications users can access. The “By Authorization Object” report allows administrators to review authorization objects, including those associated with IWSG and IWSV, and their default values, ensuring that the correct permissions are assigned. These reports are critical for auditing and maintaining secure access to SAP Fiori and Gateway applications. The “Search Applications in Roles” report is less specific, and “By Transaction Assignment in Menu” focuses on transaction codes, not IWSG/IWSV applications, making them unsuitable for this purpose. These tools enhance transparency and control over application access in SAP systems.

In SAP systems, the authorization object S_USER_GRP is used to restrict which users a security administrator can maintain. This object controls access to user master records based on user groups, allowing administrators to manage only users assigned to specific groups. For example, by assigning a user group value in the S_USER_GRP object, an administrator’s ability to create, change, or delete user accounts is limited to those within the specified group, enhancing segregation of duties and security. This is particularly useful in large organizations where different administrators are responsible for distinct sets of users. The other options are incorrect: S_USER_SAS is related to system administration services, S_USER_GRD does not exist in standard SAP, and S_USER_AUT is used for authorizing the creation of authorizations in roles, not user maintenance. By leveraging S_USER_GRP, SAP ensures granular control over user management tasks, preventing unauthorized access to sensitive user data and maintaining compliance with security policies. This object is integral to the SAP authorization concept, ensuring that user administration is both secure and efficient.
