SAP systems that integrate personnel planning (SAP HCM systems), contain additional information about SAP users, their tasks and organizational assignments within the company. Hierarchies are built based this information. Authorizations with which SAP users are ensured access to the objects, are mapped as structural profiles in the HCM system.
In One Identity Manager, personnel main data and part of the organizational structure can, on the one hand, be imported from the HCM system and on the other hand, structural profiles are mapped with their properties. This means, employees can be provided with all the necessary authorizations in the HCM system through their SAP user accounts. Default One Identity Manager functions, such as the IT Shop or Identity Audit, can be used for structural profiles and personnel planning data.
Structural profiles from child systems of a central user administration and their user accounts assignments are not synchronized.
The following users are used for setting up and administration of HCM data.
Table 1: Users
|
Target system administrators |
Target system administrators must be assigned to the Target systems | Administrators application role.
Users with this application role:
-
Administer application roles for individual target system types.
-
Specify the target system manager.
-
Set up other application roles for target system managers if required.
-
Specify which application roles for target system managers are mutually exclusive.
-
Authorize other employees to be target system administrators.
-
Do not assume any administrative tasks within the target system. |
|
Target system managers |
Target system managers must be assigned to the Target systems | SAP R/3 application role or a child application role.
Users with this application role:
-
Assume administrative tasks for the target system.
-
Create, change, or delete target system objects.
-
Edit password policies for the target system.
-
Prepare system entitlements to add to the IT Shop.
-
Can add employees who have another identity than the Primary identity.
-
Configure synchronization in the Synchronization Editor and define the mapping for comparing target systems and One Identity Manager.
-
Edit the synchronization's target system types and outstanding objects.
-
Authorize other employees within their area of responsibility as target system managers and create child application roles if required. |

Synchronization of structural profiles and personnel planning data can be set up as an add-on to SAP R/3 User Management Module. That means, you set up synchronization for the SAP R/3 base administration before you can synchronize the structural profiles and personnel planning data. Then you create the synchronization project for the structural profiles and personnel planning data. Follow the instructions in the One Identity Manager Administration Guide for Connecting to SAP R/3 to do this. Anomalies are described in this guide.
To load HCM system objects into the One Identity Manager database for the first time.
- Prepare a user account in the HCM system with sufficient permissions for synchronization.
-
The One Identity Manager components for managing HCM system are available if the TargetSystem | SAPR3 | HRProfile configuration parameter is set.
- Create a synchronization project with the Synchronization Editor.
Detailed information about this topic
You require the following authorizations for accessing the target system in order to synchronize One Identity Manager with an SAP HCM system.
- Structural profile "ALL" (assigned in the T77UA table)
- Authorization object S_RFC (authorization check on RFC access) with activity 16, at least for the PERS, PADR, RH65, RPAI function groups.
For more information about all the required authorizations, see the One Identity Manager Administration Guide for Connecting to SAP R/3.
