In SAP Enable Now, we can easily create, maintain, and deliver performance support, learning material, and documentation content.In this blog I will discuss the user management process of SAP Enable Now Cloud version.

The user will be created and will be shown in the user list.

If you want to assign any specific role to the already created user then you need follow below process:
Step 1: Navigate Administration> Role. Select the required role you want to assign. In this blog I will demonstrate this step using role Test_Authorization. Click on Add button.
Step 2: You will get a pop-up where you need to select the user source folder (I have selected root folder) and the search the user (I have searched for testid1).
Step 3: You need to select the user and press on Save button.
The user id will be shown in the list as below.

You can directly assign permission to any user in SAP Enable Now. For this you need to navigate through Administration>Permissions. You need to select the user and select the necessary permission you want to grant and then save it.

In SAP Enable Now, user can’t be deleted directly. You can deactivate the user using the active check box.
Conclusion
In this blog I have briefly explained the user management process in SAP Enable Now Cloud version. Hope this will help to understand the basic of access provisioning process. Please note you need to have administrator rights to manage the user. Please feel free to share your thoughts on this blog.
This is helpful thanks. our company just acquired sap enable now on premise. i know how to create simulations in the producer (installed on my laptop). But how do i then publish this locally created simulation to the manager (installed on a central server) so many people can access it?
I think you should check with SEN consultant who is configuring it.
Thanks .Is there any specific rules or norms to create USERID.
Suppose i want create userid with my Company Mail-ID
is it work.
Thanks,

Hi,
I think you can do that. Though I have not tried it. Please try and let me know if any issues.
Hi Singamesh,
If you use SSO via SAML for the Cloud SAP Enable Now you can choose which attribute will be treated as the username from the list of attributes that you IdP provides.
Hi Amit, I hope you will have another look at this blog soon!
If a user is disabled, he cannot authenticate again in Enable Now, right? How can I delete his record? By Service Request @ SAP?
We have two users who cannot login with SAML authentication and they seem to be corrupted or anything. We’d like to start from scratch and provision them during first time authentication.
Kind regards

Hi ,
I couldn't find any option for deletion of the record.Please check with SAP if they can do it.Thanks
I was informed by Enable Now developer that you can do it in Server Housekeeping:
Then it will show you inactive users that can be deleted.
Hi Jonas,
This is 100% true.
Hi,
Thanks for this tutorial, it's really helpful.
Is there a way to restrict or give permission to an individual/group to view and access only the given object/folder?
Thanks in advance for the help.
No. Not currently. Restriction is by Workarea only.
Hi, I created a admin-role user, and when i need to chage any other user role the system shows the following: User role does not have edit permission
This admin-role user have the same permissions that the original administrator user have. What would cause this and how coud I resolved?
There was a change put in to control who can change or assign a role. Locate the role on the Roles screen, and click the Permissions link. Then you can change this to say who can do what to the role.
Hi,
where can I find in SEN Server Housekeeping?
Hi Rafat,
it is in Administration > Server Housekeeping. More details are in the Manager Operations Guide in the Help Portal.
Take care,
Kristina
