For HR Auth objects: HR940 is a good reference for this

SAP Help on this one is also good

Thanks for the links, very helpful!

One more question...

If I wanted to know what sap security roles having authorization to info types would I look for just roles with authorization object P_ORGIN or is there other auth objects or other methods of checking?

It totally depends on which roles you are looking for :

P_ORGIN : If you are looking for roles with HR Master Data Access

PLOG : If you are looking for roles with HR Planning access and so on.

Just go through the HR Auth Objects, those will help you a lot

HR is rather tricky - see the documentation on object P_PERNR in transaction SU24 and the various threads here about "structural authorizations" for example.

Additionally much of the access (volume wise) is typically portal (ESS / MSS) based which adds other (technology) dimensions to it, in addition to authentication mechanisms (and requirements) and user contexts.

Even in the ABAP programming world it (HR) is different for the developers, then the usuall FICO/MM/SD etc...

As Zaheer mentioned, taking a good course to give you a jump-start is a good idea.

If you ask more specific questions afterwards, then I am sure that folks will help you out where they can.

I would concentrate on understanding P_ORGIN, P_PERNR & PLOG to get started on HR security. I also feel that these are the backbones for understanding HR sec. You will have a lot of fun running through the behavior of infotypes with the combination of the above mentioned auth objects. Good luck
