We just published our new, comprehensive CIO Guide: Identity Lifecycle in SAP Landscapes!

This new CIO guide explores the SAP approach to identity and access management (IAM) in the context of the identity lifecycle. It explains how IAM software from SAP supports building successful system integrations in cloud and hybrid environments and includes diagrams and a reference architecture to illustrate the concepts. With SAP Cloud Identity Services and well-established IAM-related industry standards, SAP improves system integration and helps provide a seamless user experience while also improving security and compliance.

The first version of this CIO guide was released in 2018 and quickly became one of the most popular documents in the SAP security community. Despite an update of the guide in 2021, a lot has changed again since then, so we decided to issue another update that builds on the proven format while adding new technical developments and strategic recommendations.

The most important change is that we have brought the capabilities of authentication, authorization, and provisioning together into one seamless solution, SAP Cloud Identity Services. At the same time, the Identity Directory service has assumed a much more prominent role as the backbone of IAM tools and processes.

The new guide explains the identity lifecycle and the SAP Cloud Identity Services strategy and explores the SAP offerings for each area. We also introduce a section on the reference architectures for IAM to provide you with an overview and comprehensive technical diagrams for the major IAM areas of authentication, identity lifecycle, and authorization.
