3660218 - Email Address not Recognized for Business User During SSO Logon

Symptom

A business user has the correct email address maintained, but the system does not recognize this data. When attempting to log in via SSO, authentication is successful on the IDP side, but the user is still unable to access the system.

Environment

SAP Business ByDesign

SAP Cloud for Customer

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Navigate to the Administrator Work Center
  2. Select the Business User View
  3. In the search field, enter the affected business user
  4. Observe that the email is maintained
  5. Attempt to access the system via SSO
  6. Note that the system does not recognize the maintained email address for the user

Cause

The issue occurs because the Organizational Assignment is not set up for the user during employee creation. When an employee is created without an Organizational Assignment, the system does not trigger the action to copy the email ID from the employee's record to the business user's record.

Resolution

Maintain the Organizational Assignment when creating an employee, as this will ensure that the email ID is correctly assigned to the business user.
