Renaming SAP user accounts

You can rename user accounts by deleting them and recreating them under a different name. In this case, existing assignments are transferred to the new user account.

NOTE: User accounts with the Full managed manage level cannot be renamed.

To rename a user account

  1. In the Manager, select the SAP R/3 > User accounts category.
  2. Select the user account in the result list.
  3. Select the Change main data task.

  4. Select the Rename SAP user account task.
  5. Enter the new name of the user account and the initial password.
  6. Click OK.

    This generates a process that publishes these changes to the target system.

Assigning employees automatically to SAP user accounts

Table 50: Configuration parameters for automatic employee assignment
Configuration parameter Meaning
TargetSystem | SAPR3 | PersonAutoFullsync

Mode for automatic employee assignment for user accounts that are added to or updated in the database by synchronization.

TargetSystem | SAPR3 | PersonAutoDefault

Mode for automatic employee assignment for user accounts added to the database outside synchronization.

TargetSystem | SAPR3 | PersonExcludeList

Listing of all user account without automatic employee assignment. Names are listed in a pipe (|) delimited list that is handled as a regular search pattern.

Example:

SAP*|SAPCPIC|SAPJSF|DDIC|J2EE_ADMIN|J2EE_GUEST

TargetSystem | SAPR3 | PersonAutoDisabledAccounts

Specifies whether employees are automatically assigned to disabled user accounts. User accounts are not given an account definition.

When you add a user account, an existing employee can automatically be assigned to it. If necessary, a new employee can be created. The identity's main data is created on the basis of existing user account main data. This mechanism can be triggered after a new user account is created either manually or through synchronization.After synchronization, identities are automatically assigned to all new user accounts. If no matching identity can be found, a new identity is created using existing user main data.

Define criteria for finding employees to apply to automatic employee assignment. If a user account is linked to an employee through the current mode, the user account is given, through an internal process, 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.

If you run this procedure during working hours, automatic assignment of employees to user accounts takes place from that moment onwards. If you disable the procedure again later, the changes only affect user accounts added or updated after this point in time. Existing employee assignments to user accounts remain intact.

NOTE: It is not recommended to assign employees using automatic employee assignment in the case of administrative user accounts. Use Change main data to assign employees to administrative user accounts for the respective user account.

For more information about assigning employees automatically, see the One Identity Manager Target System Base Module Administration Guide.

Run the following tasks to assign employees automatically:

  • If you want employees to be assigned during the synchronization of user accounts, in the Designer, set the TargetSystem | SAP3 | PersonAutoFullsync configuration parameter and select the required mode.

  • If you want employees to be assigned outside synchronization, in the Designer, set the TargetSystem | SAP3 | PersonAutoDefault configuration parameter and select the required mode.

  • In the TargetSystem | SAP3 | PersonExcludeList configuration parameter, define the user accounts for which no automatic assignment to employees shall take place.

    Example:

    SAP*|SAPCPIC|SAPJSF|DDIC|J2EE_ADMIN|J2EE_GUEST

    TIP: You can edit the value of the configuration parameter in the Exclude list for automatic employee assignment dialog.

  • Use the TargetSystem | SAP3 | PersonAutoDisabledAccounts configuration parameter to specify whether employees can be automatically assigned to disabled user accounts. User accounts do not obtain an account definition.

  • Assign an account definition to the client. Ensure that the manage level to be used is entered as the default manage level.

  • Define the search criteria for employee assignment in the client.

NOTE:

The following applies for synchronization:

  • Automatic employee assignment takes effect if user accounts are added or updated.

The following applies outside synchronization:

  • Automatic employee assignment takes effect if user accounts are added.

NOTE:

In the default installation, after synchronizing, employees are automatically created for the user accounts. If an account definition for the client is not known at the time of synchronization, user accounts are linked with employees. However, account definitions are not assigned. The user accounts are therefore in a Linked state.

To manage the user accounts using account definitions, assign an account definition and a manage level to these user accounts.

To manage user accounts through account definitions

  1. Create an account definition.

  2. Assign an account definition to the client.

  3. Assign a user account in the Linked state to the account definition. The account definition's default manage level is applied to the user account.

    1. In the Manager, select the SAP R/3 > User accounts > Linked but not configured > Client> category.

    2. Select the Assign account definition to linked accounts task.

    3. In the Account definition menu, select the account definition.

    4. Select the user accounts that contain the account definition.

    5. Save the changes.

Editing search criteria for automatic employee assignment

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.

The criteria for employee assignments are defined for the client. 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: Object definitions for user accounts that can have search criteria applied to them are predefined. For example, if you require other objects definitions that limit a preselection of user accounts, set up the respective custom object definitions in the Designer. For more information, see the One Identity Manager Configuration Guide.

To specify criteria for employee assignment

  1. Select the SAP R/3 > Tenants category.
  2. Select the tenant 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.
    Table 51: Standard search criteria for user accounts
    Apply to Column for employee Column for user account
    SAP user accounts of the type "Dialog" Central SAP user account (CentralSAPAccount) User account (Accnt)
  5. Save the changes.
Direct assignment of employees to user accounts based on a suggestion list

In the Assignments pane, you can create a suggestion list for assignments of employees to user accounts based on the search criteria and make the assignment directly. User accounts are grouped in different views for this.

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 53: 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 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).
