There are two user concepts within SAP S/4HANA Cloud, public edition: workers and business users.
- Workers can be either permanent or temporary, depending on their Worker Type (with his background knowledge on on-premise ERP, Adam would have called this “Business Partner Role”: BUP003 (employee) for permanent, BBP005 (contingent worker) for temporary). They can be imported with the help of the Manage Workforce app. This app is included in the Business Role BR_ADMINISTRATOR_HRINFO and SAP_BR_ADMINISTRATOR (via the Business Catalog SAP_BUM_BC_MNG_WORKFORCE_PC).
- A Business User first needs to be an employee of the company before they have a user account in the SAP system. To assign Business Roles to Business Users, Adam may use either the Maintain Business Roles or the Maintain Business Users app. Both apps are included in the Business Role SAP_BR_ADMINISTRATOR (via the Business Catalogs SAP_CORE_BC_IAM_RM and / and SAP_CORE_BC_IAM_UM).
