2 SAP Authorization and Trust
Management Service
The SAP Authorization and Trust Management service enables administrators to make sure that users only
have access to functions for which they are authorized. It also enables developers to request authentication
and implement authorization checks in their applications.
The SAP Authorization and Trust Management service lets you manage user authorizations and trust to
identity providers. Identity providers are the user base for applications. You can use SAP Cloud Identity
Services - Identity Authentication, a default or a custom corporate identity provider. User authorizations are
managed using technical roles at application level, which can be aggregated into business-level groups and role
collections for large-scale cloud scenarios.
Using this service, administrators can configure trust to identity providers for authentication, manage
authorization models and assign authorizations to users. Developers can request authentication and
implement authorization checks in their applications using security artifacts.
