What is SAP Identity Services?

Full name

SAP Cloud Identity Services

Category

Security & Governance

Typical roles

SAP Identity Consultant, Cloud IAM Architect, SAP Security Specialist

SAP Cloud Identity Services support authentication and user provisioning for SAP cloud applications. Landscape design must account for identity source, trust configuration and joiner-mover-leaver processes.

Authentication verifies a user; application authorisations still determine what that user can do.

A practical SAP Identity Services engagement begins with an inventory of the installed product and release, affected business processes, connected systems and decision-makers. From there, the team can define scope, data and integration requirements, testing responsibilities and a realistic transition or support plan.
