Objective: This try is to give increased visualization of the Note: 2615341 with a tiny narration.
Build: Mail conversation between Customer (A) and SAP GRC Consultant (A).
'Cut to the main plot'.
Customer A: I really appreciate your efforts towards closing a big gap of compliance breach. Yet, another requirement is going on. Discussion is in progress and will be addressing you sooner.
Consultant A: It's my pleasure and I look forward to hearing from you.
Customer A: Hi! here I come with the requirement.
We are planning to strengthen our Access Control SoD across the SAP landscapes. Currently, our GRC is being utilized for single-system risk analysis and now the requirement is to extend the functionality to cross-system risk analysis between SAP "SYSTEM1" and "SYSTEM2".
Challenge: Practice of user id naming conventions are different in both the systems. For instance,
user Ajit has user id (
NADAJI) in
SYSTEM1 and user id (
PX000000) in
SYSTEM2.
So, walk us through with a POC if you have the solution.
Consultant A: Well! it's an interesting requirement and the SAP GRC has built-in functionality to solve your challenge. Here is the POC which shows cross risk analysis for different user ID naming conventions.
Prerequisites: Repository Sync should be successful for the connectors involved.
Step1: Execute SAP reference IMG > Governance, Risk and Compliance > Access Control > Maintain Master User ID Mapping.
Step2:
Consider one user as Master User ID and other user IDs as Non-Master User ID.
At present, user ID (
NADAJI) is Non-Master and (
PX000000) is Master User ID.
Hint: Mass upload option facilitates Mass user mapping.

Output:
User Level Risk analysis selection with
Non-Master User.

User level risk analysis selection with
Master User.

Note: The same behavior applies for ARM risk analysis.
Conclusion:
1) The relation of Non Master user ID to Master user ID is M : 1.
2) key factors are decision on Master user and appropriate user to master user mapping.
3) Risk analysis can be performed either Non Master user or Master user.
