About S-User Access for C4C
C4C users have only recently been introduced to the S-User model, they are mainly using build in support and rarely need to access the launchpad so only a small number will have active S-Users, so there is a chance you will need assistance.
Existing customers all received a S-user admin when we switched from our old support infrastructure to the launchpad.
New customers received a S-User admin when a new order is placed, this is the same process as for any other cloud solution.
In both scenarios, the initial S-User is sent to the “contact IT”, the technical contact provided in the original order.
The Customer Interaction Center (CIC) is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. CIC provides a central point of contact for non-technical queries such as SAP ONE Support Launchpad, User Management, Incident Management and much more...

Note: The change was communicated in the 1911 release notes on the 1st of November, 2019.

Chat and SaE in Built-In Support DEMO
FAQ: all 1911 tenants have a new link for chat and SaE in Built-In support, this link is a direct access to the Launchpad.
As soon as your click on this link from the help center, they are no longer in Built-In support and all further issues you may face will be classified as Launchpad Issue, instead of tenant issue.
Any Launchpad issue or questions must be handled by CIC or the launchpad support team.
These issues could be :
- When I click on “SAP Expert chat” or “ Schedule an Expert in Built-In support it is asking me for credential, how do I find them?
- How can I get access to chat?
- Will I need to do this each time?
- What is schedule an expert ?
- Generic S-User questions:
- What is an S-user, how to I get one?
- Who is my cloud admin?
- How to reset my password?
- How do I check if I already have one?
- How do I install my certificate
- How do I know this is the correct S user for my product?
- When opening a chat, I cannot find my installation number on step 3, it says I have none, why?
- When I search for my tenants on step 3, I cannot see anything, why ?
Majority of what we will be reported, it will be down to the fact that you don’t have a S_User or is using the wrong S_user . since what you see in Launchpad ( installation and tenants) is linked to the installation number your S_User is assigned to.
This applies to both SaE and Chat.
You can call CIC for support but you can also transfer your incident to the correct support team :
- Any S_ user issue can be sent to XX-SER-SAPSMP-USR
