Automatic Assignment of Employees to SAP User Accounts

Automatic Assignment of Employees to SAP User Accounts

Table 56: Configuration Parameters for Automatic Employee Assignment
Configuration parameter Meaning
TargetSystem\SAPR3\PersonAutoFullsync

This configuration parameter specifies the mode for automatic employee assignment for user accounts added to or updated in the database through synchronization.

TargetSystem\SAPR3\PersonAutoDefault

This configuration parameter specifies the mode for automatic employee assignment for user accounts added to the database outside synchronization.

TargetSystem\SAPR3\PersonExcludeList

List of all user accounts for which automatic employee assignment should not take place. Names given in a pipe (|) delimited list that is handled as a regular search pattern.

Example:

SAP*|SAPCPIC|SAPJSF|DDIC|J2EE_ADMIN|J2EE_GUEST

TargetSystem\SAPR3\PersonAutoDisabledAccounts

This configuration parameters specifies whether employees are automatically assigned to disable user accounts. User accounts do not obtain an account definition.

When you add a user account, an existing employee can be assigned automatically or added if necessary. In the process, the employee master data is created based for existing user master data. This mechanism can follow on after a new user account has been created manually or through synchronization. Define criteria for finding employees to apply to automatic employee assignment. If a user account is linked to an employee through the current mode, the user account is given, through an internal process, the default manage level of the account definition entered in the user account's target system. You can customize user account properties depending on how the behavior of the manage level is defined.

If you run this procedure during working hours, automatic assignment of employees to user accounts takes place from that moment onwards. If you disable the procedure again later, the changes only affect user accounts added or updated after this point in time. Existing employee assignment to user accounts remain intact.

NOTE: It is not recommended to assign employees using automatic employee assignment in the case of administrative user accounts. Use the task Change master data to assign employees to administrative user account for the respective user account.

Run the following tasks to assign employees automatically.

  • If employees can be assigned by user accounts during synchronization, set the parameter "TargetSystem\SAPR3\PersonAutoFullsync" in the Designer and select the mode.
  • If employees can be assigned by user accounts during synchronization, set the parameter "TargetSystem\SAPR3\PersonAutoDefault" in the Designer and select the mode.
  • Specify the user accounts in the configuration parameter "TargetSystem\SAPR3\PersonExcludeList" which must not be assigned automatically to employees.

    Example:

    SAP*|SAPCPIC|SAPJSF|DDIC|J2EE_ADMIN|J2EE_GUEST

  • Use the configuration parameter "TargetSystem\SAPR3\PersonAutoDisabledAccounts" to specify whether employees can be automatically assigned to disabled user accounts. User accounts do not obtain an account definition.
  • Assign an account definition to the client. Ensure the manage level to be used is entered as default automation level.
  • Define the search criteria for employees assigned to clients.

NOTE:

The following applies for synchronization:

  • Automatic employee assignment takes effect if user accounts are added or updated.

The following applies outside synchronization:

  • Automatic employee assignment takes effect if user accounts are added.

NOTE: Following synchronization, employees are automatically created for user accounts in the default installation. If there are no account definitions for the client at the time of synchronization, user accounts are linked to employees. However, account definitions are not assigned. The user accounts are, therefore, in a "Linked" state.

To select user accounts through account definitions

  1. Create an account definition.
  2. Assign an account definition to the client.
  3. Assign the account definition and manage level to the user accounts in a "linked" state.
    1. Select the category SAP R/3 | User accounts | Linked but not configured | <client>.
    2. Select the task Assign account definition to linked accounts.

Editing Search Criteria for Automatic Employee Assignment

Editing Search Criteria for Automatic Employee Assignment

Criteria for employee assignment are defined in the client. In this case, you specify which user account properties must match the employee’s properties such that the employee can be assigned to the user account. You can limit search criteria further by using format definitions. The search criteria are written in XML notation in the column "Search criteria for automatic employee assignment" (AccountToPersonMatchingRule) of the SAPMandant table.

Search criteria are evaluated when employees are automatically assigned to user accounts. Furthermore, you can create a suggestion list for assignments of employees to user accounts based on the search criteria and make the assignment directly.

NOTE: When the employees are assigned to user accounts on the basis of search criteria, user accounts are given the default manage level of the account definition entered in the user account's target system. You can customize user account properties depending on how the behavior of the manage level is defined.

It is not recommended to make assignment to administrative user accounts based on search criteria. Use the task Change master data to assign employees to administrative user account for the respective user account.

NOTE: One Identity Manager supplies a default mapping for employee assignment. Only carry out the following steps when you want to customize the default mapping.

To specify criteria for employee assignment

  1. Select the category SAP R/3 | Clients.
  2. Select the client from the result list.
  3. Select Define search criteria for employee assignment in the task view.
  4. Specify which user account properties must match with which employee so that the employee is linked to the user account.
    Table 57: Default Search Criteria for User Accounts
    Apply to Column on Employee Column on User Account
    SAP user accounts of type "Dialog" Central SAP user account (CentralSAPAccount) User account (Accnt)
  5. Save the changes.
Direct Assignment of Employees to User Accounts Based on a Suggestion List

You can create a suggestion list in the "Assignments" view for assignments of employees to user accounts based on the search criteria. User accounts are grouped in different views for this.

Table 58: Manual Assignment View
View Description
Suggested assignments This view lists all user accounts to which One Identity Manager can assign an employee. All employees are shown who were found using the search criteria and can be assigned.
Assigned user accounts This view lists all user accounts to which an employee is assigned.
Without employee assignment This view lists all user accounts to which no employee is assigned and for which no employee was found using the search criteria.

TIP: By double-clicking on an entry in the view, you can view the user account and employee master data.
