Hi Harry,

In SAP GRC Access Enforcer5.2 two type of provisioning is available Direct and Indirect.

1-You should only select InDirect if your SAP environment includes the SAP HR module, and you want to use SAP HR to perform provisioning. Otherwise, you should select Direct.

If you select InDirect, you must then select the type of HR object Virsa Access Enforcer needs to transmit to the HR module. There are three possible object types: Position, Orgtype, and Job.

2-You can perform Provisioning in two ways:-

i)Automatically :- for this way you can set provisioning type to Auto provision at the end of request or Auto provision at the end of each path

ii)Manually :- for this way you can set provisioning type to No autoprovision .

For the provisioning configuration settings Go to Configuration tab~~>Workflow~~>Auto provisioning.

3-You can also configure your user provisioning BY SYSTEM as well.

For reference you can download configuration guide of Access enforcer 5.2 from SAP Market place

Hi Harry,

AE allows you to provision directly or Indirectly through HR position based provisioning. In the sirect provisioning, you can directly assign the Roles to a user whereas in Position based provisioning, you need to cnfigure the positions and HR heirarchy in consultation with your HR, based on what Roles each they want every position to have.

Thus for HR provisioning (indirect) the user will get the roles automatically, which are configured for his position by the HR and in direct, you provide the access the normal way by assigning roles directy to the user. You may follow the AE guide for the detailed description & configuration steps of the same if you need a detailed description of the same.

Regards,

Hersh.

Also it is worth noting that AE 5.2 and CUP 5.3 can both integrate with NW IDM and CUA for User Provisioning.
