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 identity and roles to hierarchical roles such as departments, cost centers, locations, or business roles. If the identity 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 , 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.
