I am writing docs for our product modlink and I would like to add an URL to docs from SAP.

I would like to link to the docs where the configuration of a RFC-user gets explained. If I use my favorite search engine, then I find a lot of stuff, but nothing looks like a reliable link to SAP docs.

Could someone please provide me an URL where I can find authoritative docs?

You can use this SAP Note as a place to start:

338537 - RFC user authorizations for data exchange R/3 backend <-> CRM

It contains detailed instructions how to create communications users and explains some security aspects. Also simplified guide can be found here.

Note that authorizations SAP_ALL/SAP_NEW specified in simplified guide are excessive and are relevant only for this CRM case. Usually S_RFC authorization is quite sufficient (also S_RFCACL for trusted RFC connections).

    SAP_ALL / SAP_NEW authorizations are not only excessive, but such authorizations on production system will trigger a *lot* of questions from auditing / security team. – PATRY Guillaume Oct 31 '19 at 19:56

    I couldn't agree more, dunno why SAP put them into the guide :) – Suncatcher Oct 31 '19 at 20:41
  • The sap Note 338537 needs a password. I have one, but the need to login is .... I don't know how to call it. How would you call it? – guettli Nov 01 '19 at 09:01
  • `The sap Note 338537 needs a password` any SAP note needs S-user :) I downloaded PDF-copy for you [here](https://file.io/toYgDS) – Suncatcher Nov 01 '19 at 18:04
  • @Suncatcher This solves the closed-docs issue for this particular question. How could this be solved for the future? How to suggest this feature request (open docs) to SAP? – guettli Nov 06 '19 at 12:59
  • what do you mean by open docs? prevent SAP notes from requiring password? – Suncatcher Nov 06 '19 at 20:54

This note explains the minimal authorizations that an RFC user needs to have: 460089
