Hi,

It varies with requirement and organization.

Best way is to ask concerned guy(Functional consultant) , get the tcodes ,prepare roles accordingly.

Its not recommended to have SAP_ALL with developer, but again it depends upon your organization.

The best way is to gather data about transaction rights for specific functional module from respective functional consutants.

Then create a role for those role and at start you can give display authorizations to all the objects in that role. Later you can get the inputs from functional consultants which object should have which activity and accordingly update.

Yes you can there are certain standard profiles like SAP_ALL in SAP. You can check if the functional profiles and accordingly create a new role with that profie. We have created a role from SAP_ALL profile.

Thanks and Regards,

Hi,

Creating a Z profile based on SAP_ALL is farely simple..

Follow the steps :

1. Execute PFCG transaction.

2. Create New Z role for example "Z_FUNCTION_CONSULTANT"

3. Save It and go to "Authorization" tab.

4. Click on "Change Authorizations".

5. It will ask "Choose Template", select SAP_ALL and click on "Adopt Reference" button.

6. Save and Generate Profile.
