Assigning SAP roles directly to an SAP user account

Roles can be assigned directly or indirectly to a user account. Indirect assignment is done by allocating the employee and roles to hierarchical roles such as 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. You cannot directly assign roles that have the Only use in IT Shop option set.

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

NOTE: Roles 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 roles directly to user accounts

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

  2. Select the user account in the result list.

  3. Select the Assign roles task.

Assigning structural profiles

Structural profiles can be assigned directly or indirectly to a user account.

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

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.
