Assignment and inheritance of SAP profiles and SAP roles to SAP user accounts

The following SAP sided limitation influence the user account assignment and inheritance of profiles and roles in One Identity Manager.

  • Composite profiles can be put together from 0...n profiles or composite profiles. If a user account is assigned a composite profile, the target system only returns the user account membership in the assigned composite profile and not the membership in subprofiles.

  • Single roles can put together from 0..n profiles. Only profiles that are not composite profiles can be assigned. Profiles that are assigned to a single role can no longer be assigned to a user account.

  • Composite roles can be made up of 0...n single roles. Assignment of profiles or composite profiles to composite roles is not possible.

These limitations result in the following:

In assignment:

  • Triggering prevents the assignment of roles which are assigned to single roles, to user accounts, products, roles, and employees.

In inheritance behavior:

  • If a user account is assigned a composite role that owns single roles, the single roles are not added to the SAPuserInSAPGroupTotal table.

  • If a user account is assigned a single role that owns profiles, the profiles are not added to the SAPUserInSAPProfile table.

  • If a user account is assigned a single role and this single role is part of a composite role that is also assigned to this user account, the single role is not added to the SAPUserInSAPRole table under certain circumstances:

    • The validity period of both assignments is identical.

      - OR -

    • The TargetSystem | SAPR3 | KeepRedundantProfiles configuration parameter is not set.

  • If a user account is assigned a composite profile with child profiles, the child profiles are not added to the SAPUserInSAPProfile table. If a child profile is additionally directly assigned to the user account, then the SAPUserInSAPProfile table also contains this direct assignment.

If a user account obtains additional roles or profiles through a reference user, these roles or profiles are only added in the SAPUserInSAPRole and SAPUserInSAPProfile tables for the reference user. When company resources assigned to an employee (PersonHasObject table) are calculated, the roles and profiles inherited by a user account through single roles, composite roles, composite profiles, and reference users are also taken into account.
