Security Aspects for Workflow
The Workflow integration into SAPÂ Gateway provides several security mechanisms.
Role Templates
Workflow uses out-of-the-box function modules of SAP_WAPI (RFC functions). These function modules contain authorization checks for different user roles and are integrated in predefined role templates. Role templates exist for both administration users and for end users. For a list of all role templates, see User, Developer, and Administrator Authorizations.
Special Users
A special user role WF-BATCH is provided in the backend system (SAP Business Suite system). This user is a dedicated user for background processing. For example, if you create sales orders in the backend and a Workflow is triggered during this creation, WF-BATCH is responsible for triggering the Workflow (only for background processing).
File Attachment Handling
Workflow attachments are verified using the standard SAP virus scan interfaces. For more information on how to set up the interface, see SAP Virus Scan Interface.
