SAP Enterprise Product Development: identity and user management
Introduction
Target of the session:

▪ Get a basic understanding of the SAP Enterprise
Product Development authorization concept
▪ Understand the relation between user groups,
SAP BTP role collections, and collaboration for SAP
Enterprise Product Development
▪ Learn how the Manage Teams app can help to
manage SAP Enterprise Product Development user
assignments

Disclaimer and general considerations
▪ This session shows general possibilities on how to

manage access for the collaboration scenario in
SAP Enterprise Product Development.
▪ This presentation shows a general perspective and
possibilities only. It does not include all details
required for the setup of the same. It is highly
recommended to refer to the official SAP
documentation for the respective SAP products.
▪ Furthermore, it is recommended to have a detailed
planning session with a specific security consultant
to discuss the outlined possibilities in the context of
your organizational boundaries.

Clarifying some generic terms
Identity Provider (IdP) – a system or entity which manages digital identity information and is used
to provide or remove privileges. Organizations or companies typically use an IdP to allow their
employees and users to connect to different resources and applications.
SAP Cloud Identity Services, Identity Authentication is a public cloud service for secure
authentication and single sign-on for SAP cloud and on-premise applications. It can act as an
identity provider itself or be used as a proxy to integrate with an existing single sign-on
Infrastructure of a customer.
SAP BTP Role Collection – You can maintain application roles and role collections, which can be
used in user management. Role collections enable you to group together the roles you create using
the SAP BTP cockpit. The role collections you define can be assigned to user groups containing
users logging on with SAML 2.0 assertions.

Key takeaways
Summary
▪ A key user can make UI changes and publish on behalf
of end users – Users with the UI5 flexibility role can
customize the user interface (UI) with the My
Collaborations app
▪ Possible things to adapt in the user interface (UI)
– From embedding a map to renaming a button text, etc.
▪ What if you delete something important or even break
the app?
– No worries. Key user adaptation comes with a built-in
safety net.
– It informs you whenever you’re about to do something
that’s worth double-checking: for example, removing
mandatory fields from the UI.
– You can also undo your changes and even discard
them all and reset the UI to the default app.
Thank you.
