Mapping Users: Administrator Tool 

Use

This iView allows administrators to enter mapping data for groups and roles. This is used if an application uses one technical user to access a system connected to the portal. The administrator enters the credentials of this system user for a user group or role and all users assigned to this group or role use the same logon data to connect to the system.

This tool also allows you to map user IDs, however normally each user maps their own user data as described in Mapping Users: User Enters Own Data.

When you search for users, groups or roles, only the first 200 hits are displayed. To change this to a larger number, you must change the value of the Max Hits property of this iView in the Property Editor. If you set the value to 0, there is no limit.

Prerequisites

You have user administration rights in the portal.

Procedure

...

      1.      In the portal, choose User Administration ® User Mapping.

      2.      In the System field, choose the component system for which you wish to map data.

The input fields for this system are displayed. Which input fields appear, depends on information from the system landscape definition.

      3.      Select the user, group or role that you wish to map to a user.

In the case of SAP Systems connected to the portal, you cannot map groups or roles to a user in a SAP System. You can only map a user to a user.

      4.      Choose Edit.

      5.      Enter the user ID and password to which you want to map the user, group or role.

Note that if you require the user ID only for Single Sign-On with SAP logon tickets, you must still enter the password to validate the user ID you have entered.

      6.      Save your entries.

You can also delete the mapping information by choosing Clear.

If an entry has been saved for a particular data source, a tick appears beside the user, group or role in the list.
