How does security work with Samsole SAP Data Miner and tool access?

Security in SAP from external accesses is based on a simply model: If the user does not have access to the transaction/RFC within SAP, then the user cannot get to these transactions externally.

Samsole SAP Data Miner uses both standard SAP RFCs and BAPIs. In fact, the tools main goal is to be as non intrusive as possible to your SAP installation and operations, so everything is standard SAP and no custom BAPIs or RFCs are used which would allow you or a user to circumvent the customer's configured security within SAP.

Also, just because you can get to some tables via SE16/SE16N does not mean you can do the same with Samsole SAP Data Miner from a security perspective, unless of course you have the table level access granted to you. And this is because the authorization check for data access is enforced on the remotely enabled RFC that SAP provides. And this security goes several levels deep: SAP logon=>RFC access/execute=>Table level access. As you can see, user would be dead in the waters if they don't have all required access within SAP.

So the only way we can think of that would make an external SAP tool unsecured is to have the vendor install custom RFCs or BAPI in your SAP system and call that externally from SAP (that is assuming they do not provide authorization checks within the custom programs).

Samsole SAP Data Miner and suite of tools do not use any custom SAP programs. PERIOD! So it is as secure as your SAP system. In addition to the standard security provided by SAP, Samsole SAP data miner also has built-in security that allows extract projects created to be assigned to Windows user roles or names. You can assign "Read", "Change"," Execute" & "Administer" privileges.

So in summary:

  1. Samsole SAP Data Miner totally enforces and obeys your SAP security settings and restrictions. In fact, it cannot circumvent your security settings.
  2. Please see the documentation on Samsole SAP Data Miner for authorization objects that you are going to need in order to even be able to execute Samsole SAP Data Miner. If you don't already have the required access, you would need to request Basis team to provide you with access, otherwise Samsole SAP Data Miner is nothing but a pretty GUI (yes, the software is a looker, but what would be the point if you couldn't get to your SAP data ?)
