SAP Project and Portfolio Management Security Guide 

This guide is available in English only. It does not replace the daily operations handbook that we recommend customers create for their specific productive operations.

About this Guide

SAP Project and Portfolio Management comprises cProjects, cFolders, and xRPM, all of which are based on the SAP Web Application Server (SAP Web AS). You should therefore take the security information for the SAP Web AS into consideration. This guide only describes the security information that differs from it, as well as additional security information.

Why Is Security Necessary?

With the increasing use of distributed systems and the Internet for managing business data, demands on security are also on the rise. When using a distributed system, you need to be sure that your data and processes support your business needs without allowing unauthorized access to critical information. User errors, negligence, or attempted manipulation on your system should not result in loss of information or processing time. These demands on security also apply to the SAP Project and Portfolio Management Security Guide. We provide this guide to assist you in securing SAP Project and Portfolio Management.
