Symptom
- When creating new users via the REST SCIM API with the active state set to false, licenses are assigned to those inactive users.
- Inactive users created through the API appear as consuming a license in both the classic and new user list pages.
- The issue reproduces when using a BDC test tenant that has a special “Test License”.
Environment
SAP Analytics Cloud 2026.08
Reproducing the Issue
- Sign in to the tenant with an administrator account that can manage OAuth clients and users.
- Create or use an OAuth client that has API access for user provisioning (SCIM).
- Call the SCIM endpoint /api/v1/scim/Users to create a user with inactive status. Example request body:
{
"schemas": [
"urn:ietf:params:scim:schemas:core:2.0:User",
"urn:ietf:params:scim:schemas:extension:sap:user-custom-parameters:1.0"
],
"userName": "user's email",
"name": { "givenName": "test", "familyName": "user" },
"displayName": "test user",
"emails": [ { "value": "user's email" } ],
"active": "false"
} - Open the user list (classic and new) and verify that the newly created inactive user is listed as consuming a license (for example, “Test License”).
Cause
This issue is a product defect
Resolution
- As a workaround, open the user in the user list UI, manually set the user to active, and then set the user back to inactive. This removes the license assignment from the inactive user.
- The issue is planned to be fixed in 2026 Quarterly Release Cycle (QRC) 4 version.
