User Administration

In the User Administration view of SAP Solution Manager Administration, you perform administration tasks for the standard users that you created during SAP Solution Manager Configuration.

There are separate tab pages for the users:

Users in SAP Solution Manager Client
On this tab, you manage the standard users in your SAP Solution Manager system.
Users in Managed Systems
This tab lists the users from the managed systems that are connected to SAP Solution Manager. It displays both normal users and RFC users.
Users in Separate BW Client or System
Users for Configuration

Features:

Creating new users
Updating users and role assignments, either individually or by mass update
Assigning user groups

By default, SAP Solution Manager Configuration assigns a copy of role SAP_SM_USER_ADMIN to all configuration users, since these configuration scenarios perform creation of further technical user or initial dialog user (for specific SAP Solution Manager functions). If you prefer that these configuration users do not have user administration authorizations, perform the following steps:

Define for this role a copy name like ZSAP_SM_USER_RO (RO = read-only).
Use transaction PFCG to remove unwanted authorizations from this role.

In SAP Solution Manager Configuration, select the corresponding role, choose Adjust Role and, in edit mode, choose Start of the navigation path Keep Custom Value(s) Next navigation step All Authorization Objects End of the navigation path .

For more information, see the security guide -> Start of the navigation path http://service.sap.com/instguides Next navigation step SAP Components SAP Solution Manager <current release> Operations End of the navigation path .
