      • Maintain the user mapping for each portal user corresponding to all the respective back end systems

    • Portal user ID is different than the back end SAP user ID and backend SAP user ids are the same in all back end SAP systems connected to the portal (logon ticket)

      • Maintain the user mapping for each portal user to the reference system

    • Portal user ID is the same as the back end SAP user and back end SAP user IDs are the same in all back end SAP systems connected to the portal (logon ticket)

      • No user mapping is necessary

Portal User Permissions

According to the prerequisites, if an iView is based on a system object defined in your system landscape, you must assign user permission for the relevant user, group, or role to the system object, as well.

User permissions assigned to a system permits the iView to retrieve data from the respective back end application through the system object at runtime.
