The following base data is relevant for SAP Functions:
- Configuration parameter
Use configuration parameters to configure the behavior of the system's basic settings. One Identity Manager provides default settings for different configuration parameters. Check the configuration parameters and modify them as necessary to suit your requirements.
Configuration parameters are defined in the One Identity Manager modules. Each One Identity Manager module can also install configuration parameters. In the Designer, you can find an overview of all configuration parameters in the Base data | General | Configuration parameters category.
For more information, see Configuration parameters for SAP functions.
- SAP function categories
Use SAP function categories to group SAP functions by specific criteria. For more information, see SAP function categories.
- Functional areas

You can use functional areas to analyze rule violations in context of Identity Audit for different SAP functions. You can enter criteria that provide information about risks from rule violations for functional areas and SAP functions.
To analyze rule checks for different areas of your company in the context of identity audit, you can set up functional areas. Functional areas can be assigned to hierarchical roles and service items. You can enter criteria that provide information about risks from rule violations for functional areas and hierarchical roles. To do this, you specify how many rule violations are permitted in a functional area or a role. You can enter separate assessment criteria for each role, such as a risk index or transparency index.
Example for using functional areas are:
To assess the risk of rule violations for cost centers. Proceed as follows:
-
Set up functional areas.
-
Assign cost centers to the functional areas.
-
Define assessment criteria for the cost centers.
-
Specify the number of rule violations allowed for the functional area.
-
Assign compliance rules required for the analysis to the functional area.
-
Use the One Identity Manager report function to create a report that prepares the result of rule checking for the functional area by any criteria.
To edit functional areas
- In the Manager, select the Identity Audit | Basic configuration data | Functional areas category.
-
In the result list, select a function area and run the Change master data task.
- OR -
Click in the result list.
-
Edit the function area master data.
