Add User Credentials to an SAP Connection for a Specific User

An Administrator can add SAP Login credentials for specific users to track that user’s updates posted to SAP.

If no user credentials have been added for the current user, the platform uses the default credentials entered on the Vertical View of the Data Source Registry  page for an SAP Application Server connection type.

Before performing this task, gather information about the SAP instance, such as the SAP application server name, system number and log in credentials.

When downloading data from or posting data to SAP, the platform uses the default credentials added on the Data Source Registry page’s Vertical View when connecting to SAP. Refer to Add Default User Credentials to an SAP Connection for more information.

  1. Select Configuration > Data Source Registry in the Navigation pane.
