Background documentationUser Management

 

User management for Search and Operational Analytics uses the mechanisms provided with the SAP NetWeaver Application Server ABAP, for example, tools and user types. For more information about user management in SAP NetWeaver in general, see the SAP NetWeaver Security Guide.

User Types

It is often necessary to specify different security policies for different types of users. For example, your policy may specify that individual users who interactively perform tasks must change their passwords on a regular basis, while those users under which background processing jobs run need not change passwords on a frequent basis.

The following user types are required for Search and Operational Analytics:

  • Administrator users:

    System administrators and business specialists working on the customer side. Search and Operational Analytics provides the ABAP composite role SAP_ESH_LOCAL_ADMIN for this type of user.

    Note Note

    The Search and Operational Analytics roles designed for this user type and the roles contained in it provide the authorizations required for the administration of Search and Operational Analytics. They do not include any generic system privileges required to administer the underlying SAP system.

    End of the note.

For more information about roles and authorizations, see Authorizations.
