Authorizations Required by the SAP Inventory Agent

The SAP Inventory Agent requires a small number of authorizations to collect the relevant user and consumption data from the staging database in the SAP Admin module. These authorizations are included in the role /LICMAN/SATELLITE. For a list of the authorizations in the role /LICMAN/SATELLITE, see Role /LICMAN/SATELLITE.

Each SAP Admin module system that should be inventoried by the SAP Inventory Agent requires a user account with all these authorizations. This account is used for all RFC-based communication between the SAP Inventory Agent and the SAP Admin module system. To ensure that the account has the required roles, it is recommended to import the Roles transport and assign the /LICMAN/SATELLITE role (see Authorization Roles). However, you can also use the /LICMAN/SATELLITE role as a template and assign these authorizations manually.

Refer to Authorization Objects in Standard Authorization Roles and Tables Read and Data Collected by the SAP Inventory Agent for information about which data is collected by the SAP Inventory Agent.
