To enforce an additional authorization check when a user starts an SAP transaction, you need to assign the specific authorization object to the transaction code. This ensures that the system performs an extra check against the user's authorizations before allowing access to the transaction.

Use Transaction SU24:

SU24 is the transaction used to maintain authorization default data for transactions and other executables. It allows you to assign authorization objects to transactions and set the check indicators.

Assign Authorization Object S_START:

Authorization Object S_STARTis used to control the start of transactions. By assigning this object to a transaction code, you can specify additional checks based on the Program ID and Object Type.

In SU24, navigate to the desired transaction code and add S_START to its list of authorization objects.

Specify Program ID and Object Type:

Within the authorization object S_START, set theProgram IDandObject Typefields to define the scope of the check.

This setup ensures that when a user attempts to start the transaction, the system checks for the specified authorizations in their user profile.
