Setting Up and Maintaining ESS Users Without Central User Administration 

Purpose

You can also create ESS users when Central User Administration is not active. However, several steps are different to the recommended standard procedure.

• You are familiar with the individual steps of the recommended standard procedure. Only the differences between this procedure and the standard procedure are described here.
• The composite role Employee Self-Service (SAP_WP_EMPLOYEE) is located on the mySAP.com Workplace System.
• The composite role Employee Self-Service (Core) (SAP_EMPLOYEE) is located in an HR system.
• The necessary single roles are located in all other participating (non-HR) systems, for example, Business-to-Business Procurement. See the role documentation in the SAP Library to find out which single roles this includes.
• You have copied the roles and changed them to fit your requirements if necessary. You work on your copies.

1. In contrast to the standard procedure, you first create the users or the assignments only in the HR system using transaction HRUSER. You must use the composite role for the HR system instead of the composite role in the mySAP.com Workplace System.
2. You create the appropriate users in the user maintenance transaction (SU01) on the mySAP.com Workplace System and assign the mySAP.com Workplace System composite role to them.
3. You create users in all other participating systems in the same way and assign the appropriate single role(s).
