Help an IT auditor, please!

I run RSUSR002 and search for S_TCODE as the authorization object and SE30 as the program name. I appear on the...

resulting report as someone who can run SE30. But, when I try SE30 I am blocked and told I'm not authorized.

Where do I look to get the truth about which transactions our users can execute? I'd prefer not to have to do it one user at a time. I am approaching this from the "who can do a SE11" point of view.
Many thanks.

This is the perennial audit question. Please get a good book on the SAP authorization concept.

Authorization for S_TCODE is a necessary but not sufficient condition for starting an SAP transaction from the session manager or the Command box of the SAPGUI. There are frequently additionally authorization checks before a user can complete the transaction.
