WHY ACCESS CONTROL
You can implement the first request for additional verifications when performing document transactions by using document validation. In this example, we assume that the document is posted through an interface and that you want to check permissions for custom authorization objects and/or certain data constellations. There are different dates for document validation. The complete document can always be validated, if only the information from document header (time 1) or document position (time 2) is available to you, this can also be sufficient depending on the scenario. In such cases, you need to create validation at the appropriate times. Before you can write a User-Exit in a validation, you have to make some preparations.
In the simulation overview you will now receive all the information you already know from the authorisation maintenance in the transaction PFCG. The results are presented in a table where each row corresponds to a value interval of a permission. The Object column specifies the authorization object. Use the Active/Inactive column to determine if the permission has been disabled. The Maintenance Status and Update Status columns provide information about the status of the permission and how the permission has been updated. In the Permissions Comparison column, you can find out what exactly changed on the permission, such as whether a permission has been deleted or added anew, or whether the field values in the permission have been updated. You can find information about the field values in the Value Comparison column, which shows whether values have remained the same, whether they have been added or deleted. The values that were actually deleted and added can be seen in the columns from Value to Value (see figure next page). Please note that this is only a simulation. You must still perform the actual mixing process in the permission maintenance. Because reel mixing is not only a factor in upgrade work, the transaction SUPC also provides the ability to call this simulation mode. In the overview of the selected rolls you will find the button Mix which simulates the mixing process.

A user trace is therefore also a trace over a longer period of time. Currency of the trace execution, the authorization check is recorded exactly once for each user.
To maintain open permission fields in roles, you need information from the Permissions System Trace. But all transferred manually? Not with this new feature! If you have previously created PFCG roles, you must maintain all open permission fields manually. The information on which values can be entered can be read from the Permissions system trace and maintained manually in the PFCG role. However, this can be very complex, because a function that takes these values into the PFCG role has been missing.

You should, however, take a few things into account.
Organisation levels ensure more efficient maintenance of the eligibility roles.
