SAP HCM Connector | EmpowerID IGA Documentation

SAP HCM Connector

The EmpowerID SAP HCM Connector is a read-only integration that retrieves identity information from the HCM module without writing data back to it. This makes SAP HCM the authoritative source for user identities and attributes in EmpowerID. When connected, EmpowerID pulls a list of people along with their demographic details (e.g., name, work address) and organizational structure. This allows it to associate users' job functions with the appropriate roles in EmpowerID. Additionally, the connector inventories role and location data from the HRP1001 table to maintain accurate role assignments.

📄️ About the SAP HCM Connector

The EmpowerID SAP HCM connector is read-only; EmpowerID pulls identity information from the HCM module but does not write information back to it. This makes SAP HCM the authoritative source for user identities and attributes pulled from HCM. When you connect EmpowerID to the HCM module, it reads a list of people and the demographic information (name, work address, etc.) for each individual user, as well as the organization structure in order to associate the job functions of each user with the appropriate roles in EmpowerID. The connector inventories role and location information from the HRP1001 table.

📄️ Connect to SAP HCM

EmpowerID provides connectors for a wide range of user directories and resource systems. As an administrator, you can use these connectors to quickly connect EmpowerID to your organization's identity-aware systems and applications. When you do so, you create an account store for that application in the EmpowerID Identity Warehouse and use that account store to configure how you want EmpowerID to manage the identity information in that system.
