Assigning SAP groups, SAP roles, and SAP profiles to SAP user accounts

Groups, roles, and profiles can be directly and indirectly assigned to user accounts. In the case of indirect assignment, employees, groups, roles, and profiles are arranged in hierarchical roles. The number of groups, roles, and profiles assigned to an employee is calculated from the position in the hierarchy and the direction of inheritance. If you add an employee to roles and that employee owns a user account, the user account is added to the group, role, or profile.

Furthermore, groups, roles, and profiles can be assigned to employees through IT Shop requests. Add employees to a shop as customers so that groups, roles, and profiles can be assigned through IT Shop requests. All groups, roles, and profiles are assigned to this shop can be requested by the customers. Requested groups, roles, and profiles are assigned to the employees after approval is granted.

Prerequisites for indirect assignment of SAP groups to employee user accounts

  • Assignment of employees and groups is permitted for role classes (departments, cost centers, locations, or business roles).

  • User accounts are marked with the Groups can be inherited option.

  • The user accounts and groups belong to the same SAP client.

Prerequisites for indirect assignment of SAP profiles to employee user accounts

  • Assignment of employees and profiles is permitted for role classes (departments, cost centers, locations, or business roles).

  • User accounts are labeled with the Profiles can be inherited option.

  • The user accounts and profiles belong to the same SAP client.

    - OR -

    If the user accounts are managed through the Central User Administration, the user accounts have access permissions in the SAP clients to which the profiles belong.

NOTE: Only profiles that are not assigned to an SAP role can be assigned to hierarchical roles.

Assigning SAP user accounts directly to SAP groups and SAP profiles

To react quickly to special requests, you can assign groups and profiles directly to user accounts.

NOTE:

  • Only profiles that are not assigned to SAP roles can be assigned to user accounts.
  • Generated profiles cannot be assigned to user accounts.

The following applies if user accounts are managed by CUAClosed:

  • The group (the profile) is assigned to the central system, or

  • The group's (the profile's) client is assigned as a child system to the user accounts

  • A group or profile can also be directly assigned to a user account if the client's assignment to the user account is marked as outstanding. This removes the outstanding mark.
