Synchronization of users
Users that are maintained outside of xSuite can be automatically integrated into xSuite User Administration. The integration procedure depends on the user type of the users.
In xSuite User Administration, a distinction is made between the following 4 user types:
User type | Description |
|---|---|
SAP user | The administrator can integrate users that are maintained in the SAP user administration into xSuite User Administration. An SAP user is authenticated against the SAP user master and not against the xSuite user master when logging on. SAP users are integrated using report /WMD/WF_XF_USR_GET_SAPUSER. For more information, see Transfer of SAP users as xSuite users (report /WMD/WF_XF_USR_GET_SAPUSER). |
LDAP user | The administrator can integrate users that are maintained in an external LDAP system (e.g. Active Directory) into xSuite User Administration. These users are only created as xSuite Web users. LDAP users must specify their password from the LDAP system during login to xSuite Web. The integration of LDAP users requires a configured LDAP connection in the SAP system. For information about configuring an LDAP connection, see LDAP connection. |
xSuite Web user | The administrator creates xSuite Web users manually in xSuite User Administration. xSuite Web users can only log onto xSuite Web. xSuite Web users cannot log onto the SAP system. |
xSuite Portal user | The administrator creates xSuite portal users manually in xSuite User Administration. xSuite portal users can only log into the xSuite vendor portal. The logged-in xSuite portal user can view all processes of the stored vendor via a separate web interface. |
