Transition to Central User Group Maintenance

Since the system treats locally created users with priority during the authorization check for service calls, an uninterrupted transition from decentralized users created locally in PCo, to the user groups created centrally in the Digital Manufacturing Cloud, is readily possible. SAP recommends that you do the following:

1. You first continue to work with the local users in PCo.

2. You define the user groups in the Digital Manufacturing Cloud and distribute them to the relevant PCo installations.

3. As soon as the required user groups are available in PCo, you can delete the local users in the PCo installation. You should still define at least one local user with the Administrator role so that the user groups can still be maintained.
