Centralized authorization to reduce access management effort across all applications
Centralised access across all applications
As Areas expanded its digital landscape with more applications running on SAP Business Technology Platform (SAP BTP), managing user access became increasingly complex. Multiple layers of authorisation, from frontend restrictions to backend data privileges, required extensive configuration, often leading to inconsistencies and delays.
To address these challenges, Areas partnered with Amista to develop the Authorization Manager, a centralised solution that brings all access management activities together in a single platform. This innovative tool enables administrators to easily assign, review and adjust access across both SAP BTP and non-BTP applications, saving time and ensuring consistent compliance across the organisation.
