Central User Administration

FlexNet Manager Suite 2023 R1 (On-Premises)

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

The system that is used to maintain the user primary records is usually referred to as the CUA central system. Any changes that are made to the user primary 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 primary 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.

Prerequisites for using CUA:

• The AdminModule transport and the Role transport must be imported on the SAP Admin Module system.
• The Satellite transport and the Role transport must be imported on the SAP CUA Central system. If the CUA system is the Admin module, you don’t need to import the Satellite transport because the AdminModule transport is sufficient.
• The Satellite transport and the Role transport on the CUA child systems are optional.
• The RFC connections must meet the following requirements:
  • The name of the RFC connection between the SAP Admin module and the CUA central system must be the same name as the logical system of the CUA central system.
  • The name of an RFC connection between the CUA central system and any CUA child system within the Admin module must be a logical system name or a name that is being used in the CUA landscape.
  • The RFC user must have the user role /LICMAN/SATELLITE or similar authorizations.
