User Group assignment in ABAP through IDM

[Former Member]

Hi,

We are currently trying to implement User Group assignment in ABAP systems while creating a new user.

We are using the 'Create ABAP User' Job that is part of the SAP Provisioning Framework provided by SAP.

After the going through a document provided by IDM, we came to know that ABAP attribute 'groups' is used

to to assign Groups to Users in ABAP systems.

We also tried doing with MX_ADMIN_UNIT.

But, we also find the the assignment is not happening. Are we missing out on any requirement.

Can sombody help us regarding this..?

Regards,

Praman.

Praman,

We set our user group using the SAP attribute "CompanyId".

Looking at the CreateABAPUser job in the Provisioning framework, I can see two avenues to writing the user group. The first writes IDM attribute MX_ADMIN_UNIT to CompanyID; the second writes MX_USER_CATEGORY to usergroups.

Perhaps one of these is causing the issue with the group assignment; one of them may be stepping on the other.
