Authentication through the Windows operating system is enabled by
default. Configuration is required only if you have upgraded from an older version of
SAP Control Center and no longer want to use the
older version’s authentication settings; if you do not want to use Windows for
authentication; or if you want to create login accounts manually.
SAP recommends that you allow SCC to create accounts
automatically.
This task is optional. However, if you choose not to create
SAP Control Center accounts automatically, you must enter them
manually. Even when SCC users authenticate through LDAP or the local operating system,
SCC needs the accounts for purposes of setting authorization (user privileges).
- Log in to SCC using an account with SCC administrative
privileges. (The login account or its group must have sccAdminRole.)
- Select .
- Click
to select or deselect the box labeled Automatically
add SCC login records for authenticated logins.
- Click
to select or deselect the box labeled Automatically
grant sccUserRole to newly created logins.
- Click OK to close the Security
dialog.

There are two next steps:
- If you opted not to automatically create SCC login accounts,
enter each account into SCC manually.
- Grant privileges to login accounts that require more than
basic user access. You can grant privileges by assigning SCC roles directly
to the login accounts, or by assigning the login accounts to groups and
mapping SCC roles to the groups. The group approach is generally more
efficient.
