Workflow for authorization requests

241 Views

Hi

First of all

I don't normally work with SAP security and authorizations, so please tell me if my question is in wrong forum.

My question

Does any Workflow for authorization requests exist.

If I search SDN and google, I get lots of hits about authorization for workflow, but what I search is workflow for authorization requests.

Background

I often observe time wasting discussions about "who should have authorization for what", and I think this is caused by lack of well defined procedures describing the business rules and process for granting authorizations to a specific user.

Of course I understand the need for a more overall design and implementation of authorizations, but at the same time I observe, that a very common scenario is, that a new or existing employee is asked to take care of some business task or maybe a system maintenance task like customizing, but the user don't have the correct authorizations to perform this specific task.

So

Does any standard workflow exist for handling the process of requesting, approving and implementing authorizations?

Or is there a better approach to this problem?

Kind regards
