Setting SAP User Privileges

Windows Hosts

For a Windows host, the user must have:

• The ability to authenticate to the OS

• A minimum of SAP read-only permissions (e.g., a SAP guest account)

• Additional SAPControl Web Service Permissions: For SAP version 7.38, execute permission is required for each instance of sapstartsrv on the host. If this permission is being assigned to a group, the monitoring user in the group must have the group set as primary. For more information, see: SAPControl Web Service guide.

Linux/Unix Hosts

For a Linux or Unix host, the user must have:

• The ability to authenticate to the OS

• Read-only permissions to the file system of the home directory (i.e., no SAP roles or privileges are required)

• Additional SAPControl Web Service Permissions: For SAP version 7.38, write permission is required for each instance of sapstartsrv on the host. If this permission is being assigned to a group, the monitoring user in the group must have the group set as primary. For more information, see: SAPControl Web Service guide.
