For an AEX installation (technically a Java-only installation), users, user groups, and roles are maintained in Java-based User Management Engine (UME).
These entities are created during technical configuration of the AEX with the configuration wizard.
For AEX, there are available UME user groups which contain one or more UME roles.
The following figure illustrates the user management concept.

The following table lists the UME groups that are available for this installation option. The table also shows which UME roles are assigned to the UME groups.

Grants read-only access to Integration Directory and ES Repository, and to specific administration pages (as outlined below) of AS Java. This role is required for SAP support using Solution Manager Diagnostics (SMD). |
For a dual-stack installation, dialog user are maintained in Application Server ABAP and assigned to standard roles. These ABAP roles are mapped to UME user groups to make them available for Java-based components of SAP NetWeaver PI also. UME groups are maintained in the (Java) User Management Engine (UME).
UME groups are comparable to composite roles in AS ABAP user management.
UME groups for the AEX have the same names as the corresponding composite roles in AS ABAP that are available for a standard SAP NetWeaver PI installation.
