Configuring the NWDI User Management
Use
The user management for the SAP NetWeaver Development Infrastructure (NWDI) with Design Time Repository (DTR), Change Management Service (CMS) and Component Build Service (CBS) uses the User Management Engine (UME). The UME provides different ways of storing user data.
To use the UME, you have to select a storage location for the user data.
Storing User Data in the Local Database of an AS Java
You can use the groups NWDI.Developer and NWDI.Administrators to grant the relevant permissions. You also need a user for the CMS. The CMS uses this user to perform all actions in the DTR, CBS, and SLD that are required for the configuration of the NWDI and the CMS itself.
Storing User Data in an ABAP-Based System
If the users are imported from a central ABAP-based system, you do not have to create them in the user administration front end of the AS Java.
For more information, see User Management of Application Server ABAP as Data Source .
Storing User Data in an LDAP System
You can also store user data in an LDAP system. See LDAP Directory as Data Source .
