Using of P_ABAP for Batch User IDs

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

I'm am contemplating to assign P_ABAP to bypass all authorization checks for reports for our system batch ids that will be used for executing background jobs. My consideration is that if P_ABAP is utilized, unnecessary authorization checks during execution of the background jobs by these batch ids will be skipped and will improve our performance of the background jobs.

I want to seek advise if this is a recommended practice and if any experts have implemented similar set-up. I would also like to know if there is any risk that could result from such an implementation.

Regards,

Justin

In my opinion, there's some risk with doing this. A person with 'S_BTCH_NAM' authorization could easily run these reports in background job submitted as one of these batch ids which could really cause issues.
