User administration / Identity Manager

The BPC offers integrated user administration. The specific range of functions is defined by the identity provider (IdP) used and the authorizations of the current user.

The functions are also available via API. See Identity Management API.

Functions

The individual functions and the authorizations required (in the BPC) to use them are described in more detail below. If several required authorizations are listed, at least one of them is always required, not all of them together.
