The new blog post is: What permissions do you need for SAP for Me?

----- Old Blog Post -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Please have a closer look at my blog “
What is SAP for Me?” if you are searching for some background on SAP for Me.
SAP for Me currently uses the S-User framework and its authorization concept, to control access to sensitive data. As SAP for Me introduces capabilities that leverage new data types, we also have introduced new authorizations to the existing S-User framework that can be granted to any S-User by super admins or - in some cases - by cloud administrators.
Please be aware that some authorization can ONLY be granted by either a super admin or cloud admin. We are currently working on a more transparend solution. Until further notice, you will
find the required admin types to grant access in the tables below.

Authorizations vs. customer account
At the current point in time SAP for Me shows data based on the customer account that is linked to the given S-User. In the near future, we also plan to support account hierarchies known as CCoE Level in the S-User framework. As soon as we support account hierarchies, I will update this blog accordingly.
By the way. If you are interested, there is also a
list of all authorizations that are available for an S-User in the context of SAP ONE Support Launch... available for your reference. Here you will also find more information in regards to the S-User framework in general.
Finally, if you are looking for S-user administrators on your side, don’t miss the “
My Important Contacts” list in the SAP ONE Support Launchpad.
All the best,
