Assigning SAP groups and SAP profiles directly to an SAP user account

Groups and profiles can be assigned directly or indirectly to a user account. Indirect assignment is done by allocating the employee, groups, and profiles to hierarchical roles such as departments, cost centers, locations, or business roles. If the employee has an SAP user account, the groups and profiles in the role are inherited by the user account.

To react quickly to special requests, you can assign groups and profiles directly to the user account. You cannot directly assign groups and profiles that have the Only use in IT Shop option set.

NOTE:

  • Only profiles that are not assigned to SAP roles can be assigned to user accounts.
  • Generated profiles cannot be assigned to user accounts.

  • If the user account is managed through a CUAClosed, groups and profiles can be selected from any clients assigned to this user account.

    Groups and profiles can also be directly assigned to a user account if the client's assignment to the user account is marked as outstanding. This removes the outstanding mark.

To assign groups and profiles directly to user accounts

  1. Select the SAP R/3 > User accounts category.

  2. Select the user account in the result list.

  3. Select one of the following tasks.

    • Assign groups, to assign SAP groups directly.

    • Assign profiles, to assign SAP profiles directly.

  4. In the Add assignments pane, assign the groups or profiles.

    - OR -

    In the Remove assignments pane, remove the groups or profiles.

  5. Save the changes.

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. To do this, select the central system and the child system. Only SAP roles or profiles from this client can be assigned to a user account.

This task is only available if the client of the selected user account is labeled as central system.
