Assigning SAP groups, SAP roles, and SAP profiles to SAP user accounts

Groups, roles, and profiles can be directly and indirectly assigned to user accounts. In the case of indirect assignment, employees, groups, roles, and profiles are arranged in hierarchical roles. The number of groups, roles, and profiles assigned to an employee is calculated from the position in the hierarchy and the direction of inheritance. If you add an employee to roles and that employee owns a user account, the user account is added to the group, role, or profile. Prerequisites for indirect assignment of employees to user accounts:

  • Assignment of employees and groups, roles, and profiles is permitted for role classes (departments, cost centers, locations, or business roles).
  • User accounts are marked with the Groups can be inherited option.
  • The user accounts, groups, roles, and profiles belong to the same SAP client.

Furthermore, groups, roles, and profiles can be assigned to employees through IT Shop requests. Add employees to a shop as customers so that groups, roles, and profiles can be assigned through IT Shop requests. All groups, roles, and profiles are assigned to this shop can be requested by the customers. Requested groups, roles, and profiles are assigned to the employees after approval is granted.

NOTE: Only profiles that are not assigned to an SAP role can be assigned to hierarchical roles.
