What you actually need is ownership and context \u2013 the business process an entitlement supports, its criticality level, and who is responsible for it.

Consolidated identities are the foundation for meaningful cross-system analysis, risk detection, and provisioning.<\/p><ol start=\"3\"><li><strong> Cross-system risk analysis and SoD<\/strong><\/li><\/ol><p>SoD conflicts do not live in a single system. Business processes commonly span multiple applications \u2013 for example, S\/4HANA and Ariba, or SAP ERP and SuccessFactors.

Automation is essential for governance that scales and stays consistent.<\/p><p>In SAP practice, the strongest review models are not only periodic.

Combining both approaches ensures that reviews happen when they matter, not just when the calendar says so.<\/p><ol start=\"5\"><li><strong> Workflow-Driven Provisioning and User Administration<\/strong><\/li><\/ol><p>Self-service requests and standardized workflows are a major productivity multiplier \u2013 but only when they are connected to governance rules and the right approval logic.<\/p><p>Xiting&#8217;s Digital Identity Management (DIM) via<a href=\"https:\/\/xiting.com\/en\/xiting-central-workflows\/\"> Xiting Central Workflows (XCW)<\/a> delivers exactly this: standardized workflows for ,<a href=\"https:\/\/xiting.com\/en\/sap-knowledge\/management-with-su01\/\"> role assignment and removal, user creation<\/a>, and password self-services \u2013 with flexible scenarios for the hybrid IT landscape.
