Business Units in Landscape Management
Business Units in Landscape Management are a new grouping entity. It allows customers to describe their company departments, divisions, regions, or subsidiaries in Landscape Management and assign services, systems, and business services to them.
This way, customers can structure their cloud services and systems independent of the customer number. This is especially helpful for customers who have only one customer number for all their cloud services. Shared systems, e.g., a global Integration Suite, can be assigned to more than one Business Unit.
Business Units must not be confused with Business Services.
- Business Units:
- Used to describe an organizational entity (department, region, etc.) within a customer and assign systems that are used or belong to this organization
- An inherent property of services, systems and business services
- Business Services:
- Used to group services and systems on a Business-purpose level, e.g., systems that support the sales business process.
- A landscape object in itself
- Business Services must the created in Business Service Management
Business Units can be used in Attribute-based Access Control to control the visibility and accessibility of services and systems. This way the customer can assign systems to a business unit and create an access control list that uses the Business Units attribute of services, systems, and business services to decide if the system can be accessed. Last but not least the customer can assign the users that belong to a Business Unit to the access control list and give only them access to the services and systems in this business unit.
