3430514 - Business User/Business Role changes with action "Authorizations have been reorganized/optimized due to technical reasons"

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.
