The initial setup of SAP Cloud Identity Services involves the following steps:
Before getting a tenant, check if there is an existing one assigned to your customer ID.
-
If there is an existing tenant and you are among its administrators, skip this step and access the administration console. Your existing tenant will be reused.
-
If there is no existing tenant, follow the steps below.
See View Assigned Tenants and Admins
As a customer, you are entitled to one productive and one test SAP Cloud Identity Services tenant. You are also allowed to request an additional tenant. Trial tenants are open to everyone.
See Get Your Tenant
Once you get your tenant, you receive an email with instructions to activate your account for the administration console of SAP Cloud Identity Services. This tool is the central point for configuring identity authentication and provisioning scenarios.
Once you activate your account and sign in successfully, you open the SAP Cloud Identity Services administration console. You are the initial administrator user listed under Users & Authorizations > Administrators.
As the initial administrator user of SAP Cloud Identity Services, you can view and manage your predefined authorizations, add new administrators, as well as define authorization policies to further control their data access.
We recommend that you protect the access to the SAP Cloud Identity Services administration console with two-factor authentication (TFA). Compared to single-factor authentication, two-factor authentication provides enhanced security.
