Onboarding Resource Center

Register for a Live Onboarding Webinar

As you begin your SAP implementation, we invite you and your colleagues to attend a live onboarding webinar. It's 30-40 minutes of presentation covering the key onboarding resources, followed by 10-15 minutes of Q&A.

The onboarding resource center is designed to lead you to a successful implementation. These technical and business resources will guide you at every stage of your implementation project from project kick-off to go-live. You will have access to knowledge base articles, best practices, service offerings, and training videos.

Welcome

SAP-User (S-User) Authorization

Get your initial credentials and S-user authorization. Log into the systems which have been provisioned for you at contract start date in order to ensure a frictionless project start.

Many of the resources you need can only be accessed with your S-user ID. For new customers, SAP will create S-user IDs for the SAP software recipients. Your company's user administrators can then request additional S-user IDs and assign the required authorizations.

SAP Ariba Connect Access

SAP Ariba Connect contains most of the enablement resource materials. Cloud administrators are authorized to set up S-users with basic or designated support contact (DSC) permissions.

The differences between these are as follows:

  • Basic: Grants the ability to search, display, and read information on SAP Ariba Connect; receive notifications, view product documentation, perform searches, access training sites, and view and submit enhancement requests
  • DSC: Same as basic and the ability to log service requests and download SAP Ariba software

The administrator needs to edit user permissions on SAP ONE Support Launchpad-->Users-->Management. You may view current user permissions on SAP Ariba Connect-->User Management. A user needs the following permissions to be a DSC:

  • Basic: Cloud-->Display cloud data
  • DSC: Select the same authorizations as a basic user and Incidents-->
    • Report an incident
    • Close incidents
    • Send incidents to SAP
    • Display incidents
    • Display all incidents

Partner Selection

Finding the right partner is essential to your project's success.
