Checking Security Zones

The purpose of the security zone is to make sure that SAP NetWeaver Portal users access only the applications and services that are appropriate to their roles in the organization. Changes in the organization may cause changes to the security zone hierarchy, which may leave zones in the PCD that are no longer required. The Security Zones Checker scans portal content and displays unused security zones. To use the Security Zone Checker, use the following procedure.

System administrator permissions

1. Navigate in the portal as follows:  System Administration  Support  Portal Security  Security Zones Checker .

2. Choose the Scan Security Zones link in the portal work area.

   If there are unused security zones, the portal displays each with its full PCD path.

3. If unused security zones exist, remove them, one at a time, by choosing the relevant Delete Hierarchy button.
