  • Key Concepts: 
    The Four-Eye Principle is a security measure used in SAP Employee Central to ensure that all changes made to employee data are reviewed and approved by two different users. This helps to prevent unauthorized changes and ensures that all changes are properly documented.
    
    How to use it: 
    The Four-Eye Principle is enabled by default in SAP Employee Central. When a user attempts to make a change to an employee record, they must select two other users who will review and approve the change. Once the change is approved by both users, it will be applied to the employee record.
    
    Tips & Tricks: 
    It is important to ensure that the two users selected for review and approval of changes are not the same user. This will help to ensure that all changes are properly reviewed and approved. Additionally, it is important to keep track of which users have been selected for review and approval of changes, as this information can be used for auditing purposes.
