Adding SAP groups, SAP roles, and SAP profiles to the IT Shop
NOTE: Only profiles that are not assigned to IT Shop roles can be assigned to SAP shelves.
When you assign a group, a role, or a profile to an IT Shop shelf, it can be requested by the shop customers. To ensure it can be requested, further prerequisites need to be guaranteed:
-
The group , the role, or the profile must be labeled with the IT Shop option.
-
The group , the role or profile must be assigned a service item.
TIP: In the Web Portal, all products that can be requested are grouped together by service category. To make the group, the role, or profile easier to find in the Web Portal, assign a service category to the service item.
-
If you only want the group, the role or profile to be assigned to employees through IT Shop requests, the group, the role or the profile must also be labeled with the Use only in IT Shop option. Direct assignment to hierarchical roles or user accounts is no longer permitted.
NOTE: With role-based login, the IT Shop administrators can assign groups, roles, and profiles to IT Shop shelves. Target system administrators are not authorized to add groups, roles, and profiles to IT Shop.

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:
-
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.

Configuring single role assignment
Only directly assigned single and composite roles are mapped in SAPUserInSAPRole. Assignments of single roles to composite roles are mapped in SAPCollectionRPG. You can establish which single roles are indirectly assigned to a user account through both tables.
The following applies by default for the inheritance of single roles by user accounts: If a single role is assigned to a user account and this single role is part of a composite role that is also assigned to the user account, then the assignment of the single role is additionally mapped in the SAPUserInSAPRole table if the validity period of the assigned single and composite role is not identical.
To not map memberships in single roles in the SAPUserInSAPRole table if the single roles are part of assigned composite roles
-
In the Designer, disable the TargetSystem | SAPR3 | KeepRedundantProfiles configuration parameter.
The table contains only the membership in the composite role.
Effect of the KeepRedundantProfiles configuration parameter
A single role is assigned to a user account, as well as a composite role that contains this single role.
-
The configuration parameter is set. Both role assignments have a different validity period.
The SAPUserInSAPRole table contains both the composite role assignment and the single role assignment.
-
The configuration parameter is set. Both role assignments have the same validity period.
The SAPUserInSAPRole table contains only the assignment of the composite role.
-
The configuration parameter is not set.
The SAPUserInSAPRole table contains only the assignment of the composite role. This applies regardless of the validity period of either role assignment.

Inheriting SAP profiles and SAP roles in a central user administration
If user accounts are managed through the central user administration, SAP roles and profiles can only inherited by user accounts if the user accounts have access permission for the client that the role and profiles belong to. By default, roles and profiles can only be inherited by user account if access to the clients is guaranteed explicitly. Otherwise, the roles and profiles are not inherited.
User accounts can be granted the missing client access automatically as soon as a role or profile is inherited by the client.
To automatically grant missing access permission to user accounts
The missing access permission is granted when inheritance is calculated (entry in the SAPUserMandant table) and the roles and profiles are assigned to the user accounts.
|
|
WARNING: As inheritance is an automated process, user accounts can therefore be given access permission to clients without the target system owners knowing about it. |
