1. Mr. Ward goes to Transaction VA01 to create new Sales Order
2. Mr. Ward creates a new Sales order
Now, since ABAP Agent is not instrumenting SAP GUI transactions, the above activities are being monitored in an asynchronous mode by a regular background job (can be found in SM37 under the name APPD_STAD_COL) that checks Workload statistics (STAD) and reconstructs this information as a Business Transaction with response times and other statistical information. This info is then sent to AppDynamics Controller and is visible there as a Business transaction "SD-SLS - Sales". This scenario does not have any needs for any additional authorizations for user CDWARD whatsoever. If SQL trace is active for any SAP GUI transaction, it will be collected by regular background job APPD_STAD_COL. ABAP trace is currently not supported for SAP GUI transactions.

c) HTTP server instrumentation calculates the request-response time and attaches additional info. [Instrumentation]

ABAP Agent has ABAP enhancement (instrumentation) in ERP's HTTP server, which means there is a piece of injected code that reports statistical info to the Controller in real-time in the beginning and at the end of HTTP request processing (bullet points 1.a and 1.c). This happens within the same session and under the same SAP user as the actual Mr. Ward's Business transaction happens (user CDWARD). This means the injected monitoring code has the same authorizations as Mr. Ward's user CDWARD on ERP.
