Navigating the Organization Management Console

Objective

After completing this lesson, you will be able to identify key workspaces in the SAP Customer Data Cloud console used by a consultant to configure the system.

Accessing the CIAM for B2B Console

​The Customer Identity & Access Management B2B features can be accessed by selecting Organization Management in the SAP Customer Data Cloud Console. ​Once there, select the desired Partner in the Partner/Site Switcher menu located at the top right of the screen. ​Then select the site where you previously enabled Organization Management. ​You are now ready to set up CIAM for B2B settings and manage organizations you have business with.

The images show how to access the organization management administration console from the drop-down at the top of the SAP Customer Data Cloud main page, then how to select a Partner ID (Romain B2B in this example) from the dropdown at the top right of the Organization Management page, and how to select a previously-enabled Organization management site by clicking on one of the tabs (julio.com in this example).

CIAM for B2B Console

​The screenshot below shows the CIAM for B2B Console. Clicking the gear icon allows you to access the B2B Organization Workspace Settings.

This screenshot shows the CIAM for B2B Console, and highlights the gear icon next to the Organizations Workspace title.

Organization Workspace Settings

​As shown in the screenshot below, the Organization Workspace Settings allows you to:

  • Setup your organization’s schema and member’s schema
  • Change the Delegated Admin look & feel
  • Design the approval workflow
  • Manage overall notifications

It also allows you to localize Members Attributes, Members & Registrant Notifications, and the Delegated Admin Console Titles & Settings.

This screenshot shows the Organization Workspace Settings. It contains boxes labelled Details, Organization Attributes, Members Attributes, Delegated Admin Console Look & Feel, Approval Workflow, and Administration Notifications. At the bottom, a large box, titled Language related settings, has three box elements: Members Attributes, Members & Registration Notifications, and Delegated Admin Cnsole Titles & Settings..

Organizations Workspace

​When it comes to organizations, the Organizations Workspace allows you to:

  • Check/approve/disapprove registration requests
  • Manage existing organizations and their members
  • Suspend/delete organizations
  • Edit an organization’s information
  • Check an organization’s current workflow status

Authorization Workspace

​The Authorization Workspace allows you to setup your B2B organization’s policies, or authorizations. ​

The first step is setting up Assets & Conditions. Asset Types are classes of assets that will define the nature of an asset, its attributes, actions, rulesets, and finally the assets themselves. For example, an asset type could be named Airport, and the airport assets might be MIA, JFK, LGA, and so on. ​

Conditions are restrictions placed to access your systems, such as date, time, IP, member, or request attribute. ​

Not all the configurations above are needed to create a policy, but a few will be required.

This screenshot shows the CIAM for B2B admin console highlighting the Authorization Workspace with Assets & Conditions.

​After setting Assets & Conditions, you can connect them with a policy, and then expose your policies and other B2B functionality to your legacy infrastructure (services and applications) using an application. ​With all of these set up and in place, you can embed and enforce B2B Authorizations for your third-party applications across your legacy systems and other connected services.
