3165353 - How to Configure IPS to connect to SAP Analytics Cloud (SAC)

There are different types of user provisioning for SAP Analytics Cloud:

• Through the SAC UI

• SAML

• SCIM API.

The IPS tool uses the SCIM API to provision users in SAC. The advantage of using SCIM user provisioning over SAML provisioning is that when using SAML, new users are created, and changes are made only during login. The SCIM API, on the other hand, makes changes on the backend when they happen, so updates occur without requiring a user login.

SAP IPS (Identity Provisioning Service) provides an out of the box connector for SAP Analytics Cloud. The main use case of IPS is to read users and groups from a source system and provision them to a target system. Filtering and/or mapping can be applied during job execution. The main benefit of SAP IPS is that you don’t have to write an app specific for managing users - IPS calls the SCIM API for you.
