When defining a role-naming convention in an SAP S/4HANA on-premise system, SAP recommends the following rules:

Role Names Must NOT Start with "SAP" (A):

The prefix "SAP" is reserved for standard roles delivered by SAP.

Custom roles should use a different prefix to avoid confusion and potential conflicts during upgrades or support packages.

Role Names Are System Language-Independent (B):

Role names should be consistent across different language settings.

Using language-independent names ensures that roles are easily identifiable and maintainable regardless of the system's logon language.

Role Names Can Be No Longer Than 30 Characters (E):

The maximum length for role names is 30 characters.

Keeping within this limit ensures compatibility with SAP standards and avoids issues in role assignment and maintenance.

When you maintain authorization defaults (e.g., adding authorization object S_TABU_DIS with ACTVT value 02 for transaction SM30) and need to transport these changes:

Changes are Cross-Client and Repository-Based:

Authorization default changes in SU24 are considered cross-client because they affect all clients in the system.

These changes are part of the SAP repository and are treated as Workbench requests.

Save Changes to a Workbench Transport Request:

Upon saving changes in SU24, the system prompts you to assign them to a transport request.

Select or create aWorkbench transport requestto capture the changes.

Use the Transport Management System (TMS):

Use TMS to transport the Workbench request from the development system to the quality assurance system.

This ensures that the authorization defaults are consistently applied across systems.

Why Other Options Are Incorrect:

Option B:Customizing transport requests are client-specific and not suitable for cross-client repository changes.

Option C:Manually transporting tables USOBT_C and USOBX_C is not recommended and can lead to inconsistencies.

Option D:SU25 is used for post-upgrade authorization adjustments, not for transporting SU24 changes.
