SAP User Access Review: Best Practices
A periodic SAP user access review verifies that users continue to have appropriate access for their current responsibilities.
Best practices
- Define ownership for each access review.
- Review active and inactive users.
- Prioritize high-risk access.
- Check SoD conflicts.
- Review role assignments.
- Document approvals and remediation.
- Retain evidence for audit.
Use risk-based review
Risk-based review helps teams spend more time on privileged users and high-risk combinations rather than treating every user identically.
Automate recurring analysis
SimpAudit can help standardize user risk analysis and reporting so that recurring access reviews do not have to start from scratch each time.
