Editing search criteria for automatic employee assignment

The criteria for employee assignments are defined for the client. In this case, you specify which user account properties must match the employee’s properties such that the employee can be assigned to the user account. You can limit search criteria further by using format definitions. The search criterion is written in XML notation to the Search criteria for automatic employee assignment column (AccountToPersonMatchingRule) in the SAPMandant table.

Search criteria are evaluated when employees are automatically assigned to user accounts. Furthermore, you can create a suggestion list for assignments of employees to user accounts based on the search criteria and make the assignment directly.

NOTE: When the employees are assigned to user accounts on the basis of search criteria, user accounts are given the default manage level of the account definition entered in the user account's target system. You can customize user account properties depending on how the behavior of the manage level is defined.

It is not recommended to make assignments to administrative user accounts based on search criteria. Use Change master data to assign employees to administrative user accounts for the respective user account.

NOTE: One Identity Manager supplies a default mapping for employee assignment. Only carry out the following steps when you want to customize the default mapping.

To specify criteria for employee assignment

  1. Select the SAP R/3 | Clients category.
  2. Select the client in the result list.
  3. Select the Define search criteria for employee assignment task.
  4. Specify which user account properties must match with which employee so that the employee is linked to the user account.

  5. Save the changes.
Direct assignment of employees to user accounts based on a suggestion list

Automatically creating departments based on SAP user account information

You can create new departments in One Identity Manager based on user accounts’ department data. In addition, you can specify that departments of user account’s employees are classified as the primary department. These employees can obtain their company resources through these assignments if One Identity Manager is configured correspondingly.

Prerequisites for using this method
  • Employees must be created automatically when user accounts are added or modified. At least one of the following configuration parameters must be activated and the corresponding method implemented.
    Table 57: Configuration Parameter for automatic employee assignment
    Configuration parameter Effect when set

    TargetSystem | SAPR3 | PersonAutoDefault

    Based on the given mode, employees that were added to the database outside the synchronization are automatically assigned to user accounts.

    TargetSystem | SAPR3 | PersonAutoFullsync

    Based on the given mode, employees that were added to or updated in the database by synchronization are automatically assigned to user accounts.

  • There is no synchronization project set up for personnel planning data.

    During synchronization of personnel planning data, departments that have been created already from SAP user account data are marked as outstanding. Use this method to automatically create departments from user account data only when departments are not added by synchronizing personnel planning data. For more detailed information about synchronizing personnel planning data, see the One Identity Manager Administration Guide for SAP R/3 Structural Profiles Add-on.

To create departments from user account data

  • In the Designer, enable the TargetSystem | SAPR3 | AutoCreateDepartment configuration parameter.

    For all objects imported into the One Identity Manager database in this way, the data source is given as import SAP R/3 (column ImportSource = ‘SAP).

Locking SAP user accounts

The way you lock user accounts depends on how they are managed.

Scenario:
  • The user account is linked to employees and is managed through account definitions.

User accounts managed through account definitions are locked when the employee is temporarily or permanently disabled. The behavior depends on the user account manage level. Accounts with the Full managed manage level are disabled depending on the account definition settings. The Lock user account and Unlock user account tasks cannot be applied to these accounts. For user accounts with a manage level, configure the required behavior using the template in the SAPUser.U_Flag column.

Scenario:
  • The user accounts are linked to employees. No account definition is applied.

User accounts managed through user account definitions are locked when the employee is temporarily or permanently disabled. The behavior depends on the QER | Person | TemporaryDeactivation configuration parameter

  • If the configuration parameter is set, the employee’s user accounts are locked when the employee is permanently or temporarily disabled. The Lock user account and Unlock user account tasks cannot be applied to these accounts.

  • If the configuration parameter is not set, the employee’s properties do not have any effect on the associated user accounts.

To lock the user account when the configuration parameter is disabled

  1. In the Manager, select the SAP R/3 | User accounts category.

  2. Select the user account in the result list.

  3. Select the Lock user account task.

  4. Confirm the prompt with OK.

Scenario:
  • User accounts not linked to employees.

To lock a user account that is no longer linked to an employee

  1. In the Manager, select the SAP R/3 | User accounts category.

  2. Select the user account in the result list.

  3. Select the Lock user account task.

  4. Confirm the prompt with OK.

A process is generated, which publishes this user account modification in the target system. Once the lock has been published in the target system, the User account locked option is enabled on Login data. The user can no longer log in with this user account.

To unlock a user account

  1. Select the SAP R/3 | User accounts category.
  2. Select the user account in the result list.
  3. Select the Unlock user account task.
  4. Confirm the prompt with OK.

    This generates a process that publishes the change in the target system. The User account locked option is disabled as soon as the process is successfully completed.
