Symptom
You have noticed that in "Display Changes" of your Business Role or Business User there's an action with the following message: "Authorizations have been reorganized/optimized due to technical reasons" and you want to know:
- Which changes were performed?
- Why these changes happened?
Environment
SAP S/4HANA Cloud
Reproducing the Issue
Access Display Changes screen in your Business Role or Business User.
Resolution
The message "Authorizations have been reorganized/optimized due to technical reasons" means that during a tasklist run the authorizations have been regenerated. This can happen e.g. if a hotfix is deployed that contains changes in a Business Role and Business Users that have these roles/catalogs assigned will get updated because the roles will be regenerated.
In the Blog Post Identity and Access Management Authorization Assignment there's a note where it says: "Entries with “Authorizations have been reorganized/optimized due to technical reasons” can be ignored as these indicate SAP system internal reorganizations and do not necessarily indicate authorization changes."
Therefore, these "changes" doesn't indicate a potential issue in your system as they are not actually effective changes.
