User Provisioning
-
Top-down synchronization – In this approach, the application is the target, and SAP Cloud Platform Identity Authentication Service is the source. Users are initially created in SAP Cloud Platform Identity Authentication Service and then synced down to the application.
-
In both the top-down and the bottom-up approach, the Sales Cloud application must implement the SCIM-based APIs to synchronize users.
The following table lists each application that Sales Cloud Single Sign-On supports and indicates which user synchronization methods are supported by each application
| Sales Cloud Application | Supports Bottom-Up Sync | Supports Top-Down Sync |
| SAP Commissions | ✔️ | ✔️ |
| Embedded Analytics (SCA) | ✔️ | |
| Sales Cloud AI for Commissions | ✔️ | |

Thank you!! Yoga for sharing this article.
Thanks Vijaya Rayapudi !
Keep reading some interesting articles and share it your friends
Thank you!
According to more generic Sales Cloud SSO Guide Top-Down provisioning to Commissions is not supported.
User Provisioning - SAP Help Portal
At the same time Commissions-specific guide describes configuration of exactly this type of provisioning.
Top-Down User Synchronization - SAP Help Portal
Which one should I trust?
Hi Eugene Borodin
You should be referred to this portal: User Provisioning – SAP Help Portal
Yes, SAP Commissions can support both top-down and bottom-up user sync but at present, it's certified only for bottom-up...
Product team will announce Top-Down approach feature in coming releases through release notes.. Later documentation for User Provisioning will be updated.
Hi Eugene Borodin
Documentation and Article is updated ...
Hi, Yoga
According to my experience, IAS -> Commissions (=Top-Down) provisioning only creates Sales Performance Portal users, no Commissions user or Participant created.
Thanks, Eugene Borodin
Let's have a discussion tomorrow and you can send me the meeting invite.
There are 2 types of user's
Sales Users - It should be coming from the customer's HR dept through the ODI file (OGPT or OGPO)
Commissions Users (Admin) - It should be created through IAS Portal & Assign the appropriate group which will sync through the application (Top-Down Approach)
Wonderful article Yogananda!
