- S/4HANA authorization concepts and simplification items
- Role remediation and redesign under clean core strategy
- Authorization object changes in S/4 (new tables, CDS view-based access control)
Experience with GRC Access Control, SoD rule definitions, and risk remediation workflows
Knowledge of SU24, PFCG, SU53, STAUTHTRACE, SUIM and Fiori role maintenance tools.
Preferred Qualifications:
Experience with cloud/hybrid S/4 security models (BTP, IAS/IPS, Identity Provisioning integration)

Profile:
Security-focused mindset with a risk and compliance orientation
