Customer Requirement
Data security is a top priority in every company. Existing concepts have often grown historically and require revision over time.
The main objective was to develop a transparent, scalable and user-friendly basic concept in order to increase efficiency when assigning users and to ensure clear traceability of authorizations.
b2+ Implementation
- A detailed analysis of the business processes and user groups provided answers to key questions regarding the concept development. In particular, the daily working methods played a central role in understanding dependencies and responsibilities. Once this understanding was established, our consulting team developed a concept that could be implemented in the system after approval. This involved a comprehensive revision of the role hierarchy and the basic assignment of authorizations was changed from profiles to permission sets.
- Thanks to this redesign, our customer now has the option of assigning authorizations to individual users more quickly and in a more targeted manner. In this way, they retain transparency at all times as to which authorizations a particular user has. This leads to significant added value in terms of efficiency and transparency in authorization management.
