Integrating SailPoint with SAP Analytics Cloud SaaS

Integration

This is an integration and requires additional licensing or subscriptions to utilize it. For more information, contact your customer success manager.

SAP Analytics Cloud is an end-to-end cloud solution that brings together business intelligence, augmented analytics, predictive analytics, and enterprise planning in a single system. SAP Analytics Cloud Identity Governance is a new SailPoint SAP Cloud integration that empowers businesses to enhance the security and compliance of their systems and data. It offers robust tools for efficiently managing and overseeing user access, roles, and entitlements ensuring high control and governance.

Note

This integration of SAP Analytics Cloud has been built using SAP Identity Provisioning Services (IPS). The credentials used to connect to SAP Analytics Cloud are the same for SAP Identity Provisioning Services.

Privilege Classification

SailPoint Privilege Classification helps organizations systematically categorize and manage the privilege levels of entitlements within their sources. By classifying entitlements as high, medium, or low, administrators can better understand the potential risk and impact associated with specific access rights. This allows automatic assignment of privilege levels based on system recommendations, custom-defined criteria, or a same level across all entitlements.

Privilege Level Description
High Administrative level access to accounts
Medium Administrative level access for a specific role or function
Low Only basic access of data

Note

To manage Privilege Classification, users must have administrative roles such as Org Admin, Source Admin or Source Sub-Admin.

For more information, refer to Managing Privilege Classification.

Example

Privilege Level - High

Privilege Level - Medium

Privilege Level - Low
