Question:
When I add transaction SU80 to a role, Authorization Objects S_ADMI_FCD, S_BTCH_JOB and S_BTCH_NAM are all copied into the role automatically in addition to S_ARCHIVE (which I expected). These authorization objects are not in tables USOBT or USOBX (or USOBT_C or USOBX_C) for this transaction. It appears that all of the authorizations for transaction SARA are copied, with the only difference being the value in Authorization Field ARCH_OBJ. Can someone please explain why these Authorization Objects are copied and how I would know to expect that?
Answer:
This is because SU80 inherits all SARA auth objects. If you check SU80 through the trx SU24 you can see SARA is the original TCode for trx SU80.
Answer:
Thanks very much. I hadn't even noticed the 'TCode (original)' field before but now it looks so obvious! This should help to answer a lot of my other questions.
