Questions worth asking before the shortlist.

Role redesign for S/4HANA, or lift and shift?

Fiori apps and catalogs change the role concept. Copying ECC roles often fails audit later.

GRC on-premise or cloud identity governance?

GRC Access Control and IAG need different experience.

Is the audit finding about design or provisioning?

Role design and access provisioning are separate problems with separate specialists.
