SAP parameters
Parameters can be loaded into the One Identity Manager database by synchronization and be either directly or indirectly assigned to user accounts. In the case of indirect assignment, identities and parameters are arranged in hierarchical roles. The number of parameters assigned to an identity is calculated from the position in the hierarchy and the direction of inheritance. If you add an identity to hierarchical roles and that identity owns a user account, the parameter is assigned to the user account.
Prerequisites for assigning identities to user accounts are:
- Assignment of identities and SAP parameters is permitted for role classes (departments, cost centers, locations, or business roles).
- User accounts and parameters belong to the same SAP system.
A different parameter value can be specified for each hierarchical role that is assigned a parameter. Thus, the parameter values are also inherited by the user account. You can use membership in hierarchical roles to control which parameter values the parameter obtain from the user account.
Parameters can also be added to SAP products or other system roles and assigned to user accounts through these.
