SAP Backend Communication S-User - Required Authorizations for Solution Manager 7.2

[jereme_swoboda2]

Solution Manager executes a variety of activities that require a connection to the SAP Support website. Including opening OSS Incidents and updating maintenance licenses on managed systems. When executing the guided procedure System Preparation within SOLMAN_SETUP you must supply solution manager with an S-user that will be used for these activities. This is done in step 3.1 RFC Connectivity, screen shot below for reference.

Due to this I always recommend that a client creates a user just for solution manager. If the user is shared with anything else and the password is changed, the functionality within solution manager that relies on this S-User will be broken. This requirement always leads to the question, what authorization does the user require.

Below is a list of the authorization required at a minimum for solution manager to function properly with the SAP Back-end.

 

• Report an Incident


• Close Incidents


• Send Incidents to SAP


• Display System Data


• Edit My Login Data


• Edit All Login Data


• Edit System Data


• Manage Installations


• Request License Key
