Central User Administration

FlexNet Manager Suite 2020 R1 (On-Premises)

The Central User Administration (CUA) enables you to maintain the user master records centrally in one SAP system.

The system that is used to maintain the user master records is usually referred to as the CUA central system. Any changes that are made to the user master records on the CUA central system are automatically distributed to the connected SAP systems (called child system in the following diagram).

If your SAP landscape uses CUA, you need to specify the CUA central system in the SAP Admin module. When an SAP administrator makes changes to user master data in the SAP Admin module, FlexNet Manager for SAP Applications sends these changes to the CUA central system, which distributes them to the connected SAP systems.

As a prerequisite for using CUA, the AdminModule transport must be installed on the SAP Admin Module system, and the Satellite transport must be installed on the SAP system which is the SAP CUA Central system. It is not necessary to install the Satellite transport on the dependent SAP systems (CUA children) that receive user master data updates from the CUA central system.
