Granting access to clients of a central user administration
User accounts, administered through central user administration (), have control over access permissions in several clients. You specify the client in which each user account obtains its access permissions. Clients can be assigned directly and indirectly. For indirect assignments, create account definitions for the clients and assign these to hierarchical roles. For more information, see Central user administration in One Identity Manager.
To react quickly to special requests, you can assign the clients directly to a user account. To do this, select the central system and the child system. Only SAP roles or profiles from this client can be assigned to a user account.
This task is only available if the client of the selected user account is labeled as central system.
