Manage Users in Directories [Feature Set B]

Manage members in your directory using the SAP BTP cockpit.

Prerequisites

• You're a directory administrator.

• User management is enabled for this directory.

  Choose Enable User Management to enable the user management capabilities for this directory if the feature isn't enabled already.

  Note:

  Only one directory in a path can manage entitlements or users.

• Your platform user exists in a trusted identity provider.

  All users of SAP BTP are stored in identity providers, either in the default or in a custom identity provider. SAP BTP needs a copy of the user, sometimes called a shadow user. You assign the shadow user authorizations to access resources in SAP BTP. When a user authenticates, SAP BTP forwards the request to the identity provider.

  For more information, see Trust and Federation with Identity Providers.

Context

Assign predefined or custom role collections to users who need to manage or view the directory in SAP BTP cockpit. Examples of predefined role collections include the following:

• Directory Administrator
• Directory Viewer

For more information about these role collections, see Role Collections and Roles in Global Accounts, Directories, and Subaccounts [Feature Set B].

Procedure

1. Navigate to your directory.

2. Add a user to your directory.

   For more information, see Create Users.

3. Assign a role collection to the user.

   For more information, see Assign Users to Role Collections.

Results

The next time this user logs on to the SAP BTP cockpit, the user can access this directory.
