Establishes an enterprise-grade SAP ABAP identity and access management framework that enables organizations to govern, control, and secure user access with precision, discipline, and accountability across SAP environments. Designed for complex landscapes, this policy bridges the gap between enterprise identity and access management expectations and SAP-specific risks, including excessive access privileges, segregation of duties conflicts, weak role design, uncontrolled privileged access, misuse of technical accounts, and lack of user accountability. It defines the governance model, identity lifecycle and user management requirements, role architecture and design standards, segregation of duties enforcement, privileged access controls, and monitoring expectations necessary to ensure appropriate access assignment, protection of sensitive data and critical business processes, prevention of unauthorized activities, and consistent enforcement of access controls across all SAP systems, roles, users, and supporting infrastructure.
