By configuring an SAP NetWeaver Application Server (AS) ABAP as the data source, the user management engine (UME) automatically retrieves the list of user groups from the ABAP system. This enables the AS Java to use the delegated user administration of the AS ABAP. If you do not want to use delegated user administration on the AS Java, you can disable the creation of companies from the ABAP user groups.
Reasons for disabling companies include the following:
The ABAP system still checks the user (either the system user for UME-ABAP communication or the actual user logged in) for the required authorizations needed for any user groups, even if this information is not used by the AS Java. We recommend that you configure your AS ABAP and AS Java to use the same delegated user administration configuration as much as possible. Otherwise the AS ABAP or the AS Java may deny actions that the other AS allows.
More Information:
This procedure requires you to restart the AS Java, so you should plan for the required downtime.
