Assigning SAP roles directly to an SAP user account

Roles can be assigned directly or indirectly to a user account. Indirect assignment is carried out by allocating the employee and roles in hierarchical roles, like departments, cost centers, locations, or business roles. If the employee has an SAP user account, the SAP roles in the hierarchical roles are inherited by the user account.

To react quickly to special requests, you can assign roles directly to the user account.

If the user account is managed through a CUAClosed, roles can be selected from all clients assigned to this user account.

To assign roles directly to user accounts

  1. Select the SAP R/3 | User accounts category.
  2. Select the user account in the result list.

Granting access to clients of a central user administration

User accounts, administered through central user administration (CUAClosed), have control over access permissions in several clients. You specify the client in which each user account obtains its access permissions. Clients can be assigned directly and indirectly. For indirect assignments, create account definitions for the clients and assign these to hierarchical roles. For more information, see Central user administration in One Identity Manager.

To react quickly to special requests, you can assign the clients directly to a user account. You can select the central system and the child system in this process. Only SAP groups, role, or profiles from these clients can be assigned to a user account.
