US Patent 10084792 Control and verification of permissions

A verification method includes configuring a reference system, running on a computer, to have the same set of executables and customizations as an e-business system to be verified. The reference system is configured with one or more roles that have permissions to execute all transactions in a scope of a planned verification. One or more business processes that are implemented in the e-business system and are in the scope of the planned verification are mapped and are executed using the reference system. Logs of permission checks conducted in the business processes are saved in a repository. Reference data is created by merging records from the logs of the permission checks with respect to at least one role in the scope of the verification. Permission settings for the at least one role in the e-business system are compared with corresponding permission values in the reference data for the at least one role. Based on comparing the permission settings, an indication is displayed to a user of whether the permission settings match the corresponding permission values.
