What is Top-Down User Sync ? Top–down user sync is a process that allows user data from an external system to be synchronized with a user directory in an organization. This process can be used for directory synchronization, provisioning, and user access control. The top–down user sync process begins by gathering user data from an external source and then mapping the data to the user directory. The mapped data is then used to create user accounts, update existing user accounts, and delete user accounts as needed. This process can be automated using SAP Identity Provisioning Service(IPS) or manual processes (not recommended). The process is beneficial as it allows administrators to quickly and easily manage user access and user data across multiple platforms with complete automated way. Bring all your Users from External IAM System to SAP IAS The challenge of bringing users from an external IAM(Identity Authentication Management) system to SAP IAS(Identity Authentication Services) can be daunting. It requires an understanding of both systems and a complete workflow to ensure the process is seamless and secure. The first step is to determine the data needed to be transferred from the external system. This will depend on the use case and the specific requirements of SAP IAS. Once the data is identified, the next step is to create a Standard or SCIM connector for the external system. This connector will be used to transfer the data from the external system into SAP IAS. The connector will need to be tested thoroughly to ensure that the data is transferred accurately and securely before it is used in SAP IAS. Once the SCIM connector is tested and approved, it can be used to move the data from the external system into SAP IAS. When the data is in SAP IAS, it needs to be mapped to the appropriate fields within SAP IAS. This is done by creating custom mappings within the system. Once the mappings are complete, the data can be imported into SAP IAS and the users can be added to the system. Below is the typical flow of User Provisioning Sync In this....
