The following applies if user accounts are managed by CUAClosed:

  • The group (the profile) is assigned to the central system, or

  • The group's (the profile's) client is assigned as a child system to the user accounts

NOTE: Only profiles that are not assigned to an SAP role can be assigned to system roles.
