Logging On to CUP

Logon screens and paths can vary by user depending upon the way the system administrator has defined them. The table below lists the most common ways in which users can logon to SAP GRC Access Control and the Compliant User Provisioning capability.

After logon the user is redirected to the Password Self-Service application. There, the users can change the password for the systems to which they have access. To ensure password security, new passwords are sent to the user via a time-sensitive link.

Logon Method	Description
Password Self-Service	Launches the Select Systems screen with sortable columns. Users can select one, or more, systems. Here, the user can select systems, on which to reset their own passwords, from a list of only those systems that are enabled for password self-service. After the user selection, the system validates the user account.
Alternate path to Password Self-Service	If configured, the user can directly access password self-service with single sign-on. This would be configured by your administrator, to a URL: http://Server IP address: Port Number/AE/index_pss.jsp
CUP Request Access page	After logon, the system displays the My Work tab.
Access Control Launch Pad	Users may access modules by logging on to the Access Control Launch Pad and launching CUP from there. Below is the format of the URL that directs you to the Access Control Launch Pad: http://<server name>: <port number:/webdynpro/dispatcher/sap.com/grc~acappcomp/AC
