Manage Users

In the "Users“-tab, existing Performer Suite Users are shown. New users can be created, edited, or deleted.

Default User

Creating and Editing Users

• Application User:
  We recommend you create all your Performer Suite User to be an 'Application User'. This 'Application User' can switch within the Performer Suite between all SAP-Systems (BW, BO, and HANA).
   Use the Role to control which authorizations this 'Application User' is allowed to have.

• SAP User: An SAP BW-, BO-or HANA-User can be used to log into the Performer Suite. This SAP-User can be created manually or automatically with a simple login-process with the SAP-User credentials to the Performer Suite.
  In the "Settings"-tab, the option for 'logging into the Performer Suite with an SAP-Users creates automatically a Performer Suite-User' can be enabled or disabled. The User ID and user password for the Performer Suite correspond to the SAP-User ID and password.

• Roles: New and existing roles can be managed in the tab "Roles". Roles can be assigned to Performer Suite-Users from a drop-down menu. The role defines the user’s authorizations and privileges for using functions and areas within the Performer Suite.
  For SAP BO- or SAP HANA-Users, only roles that allow access to BO or HANA components within the Performer Suite can be assigned.

• User ID: The User ID is a unique name for users. For manually created SAP users, the user ID has to be identical to the SAP-User name.

• Password: Only the Application User has a password. Please use the SAP password for SAP-Users.

• E-Mail Address: The submission of an email address is mandatory for password recovery.

• Full name/Department: Optional information.

• Authorized for products - Migration Booster/Translations Steward: Handles if the user has general access to the products Migration Booster and Translation Steward.

• Business Warehouse Landscapes:
  An "Application User" or "SAP BW-User" can be assigned to your licensed BW-Systems.
  The Performer Suite-User will only have access to systems, which have been assigned to him.

  

• Business Objects Landscapes:
  An "Application User" or "SAP BO-User" can be assigned to licensed BO-Systems (if their role allows access to the BO component).

  

• HANA Landscapes:
  An "Application User" or "SAP HANA-User" can be assigned to licensed HANA systems (if their role allows access to the HANA component).

  

• Scenario Folders: It is possible to authorize a Performer Suite-User to access specific Scenario folders.
  You can also specify in the creation settings of a role, whether the user has the right to change, delete, or create Scenarios.

  

License counter

• All users: Is the count of all user in the list

• Active Users: Is the count of all unlocked users in the list in relation to all licensed users

• Migration Booster: Is the count of all unlocked users activated for Migration Booster in relation to all licensed users for Migration Booster

• Translation Steward: Is the count of all unlocked users activated for Translation Steward in relation to all licensed users for Translation Steward

Lock/Unlock Users

• With the lock/unlock functionality (see point 1), you can lock or unlock users

• If a user is locked, a logon is no longer possible into the application and is not counted for the number of users (see point 2)

• If you insert a new license with fewer users, the difference in users will be locked - starting with the users whose "Last Logon" date is the furthest away.
  The default Admin user will never be locked

Force logout

• With the "force logout" functionality it is possible to force a logout for a user of the application. This could be helpful in the following cases

  • A user is logged in by mistake (e.g. program error)

  • You want to install a new version of the application and want to make sure that all users are logged out

• If you start this functionality the user will get a message in the next minute, that he/she will be logged out in 30 (countdown) seconds. So at least in the next 90 seconds, the selected user will be logged out.
