Disabling license calculation

You can disable calculation of user account ratings for individual SAP client, SAP systems or for all SAP systems managed in One Identity Manager. Licenses calculated for the user accounts are no longer calculated and the active license is not updated. The licenses stored with roles and profiles do not work anymore. Therefore, One Identity Manager does not provide new data for system measurement that is based on currently assigned SAP roles and profiles.

The active license can still be accessed and published in the target system. If active licenses are changed in the target system, the changes are loaded into One Identity Manager by synchronization.

To disable license calculation

  • In the Designer, disable the TargetSystem | SAPR3 | Accounts | CalculateLicence configuration parameter.

    - OR -

  • In SAP, disable the System measurement enabled option.

    - OR -

  • In the client, disable the Has user administration.

In this case, direct as well as indirect base object assignments are included.

Examples:
  • If the report is created for a resource, all roles are determined in which there are employees with this resource.

  • If the report is created for a group or another system entitlement, all roles are determined in which there are employees with this group or system entitlement.

  • If the report is created for a compliance rule, all roles are determined in which there are employees who violate this compliance rule.

  • If the report is created for a department, all roles are determined in which employees of the selected department are also members.

Removing a Central User Administration

One Identity Manager supports you in releasing individual clients from a Central User Administration or in completely removing a CUAClosed. After the changeover, individual clients can be managed independently of each other in One Identity Manager. Some tasks can be automated, others must be performed manually afterward. For example, this includes setting up new synchronization projects and removing the CUA distribution model from the SAP R/3 environment.

Recommendations
  • Link user accounts to employees

    Before removing a CUA, you must ensure that each user account is linked to an employee. When the CUA is removed, a new user account is created in each client. Therefore, if a user account has access permissions in different clients, multiple user accounts are created. The connection between these user accounts can be established only through the linked employee.

  • Create a backup of the One Identity Manager database

    The data conversion cannot be undone. Make sure that there is an up-to-date backup of the One Identity Manager database.

To remove a CUA, first release the individual child systems and check for successful conversion. After all child systems have been detached, you can convert the central system and delete the CUA from the SAP R/3 environment's distribution model.
