SAP S/4HANA Cloud

System Access

Previous Next

User Management

Users access SAP S/4HANA Cloud from a web browser via any device. All business apps are launched from the SAP Fiori launchpad. Business users only need an internet connection, the URL, and access rights.

Identity and Access Management

Effective identity and access management is the basis for secure and compliant system operation. With SAP S/4HANA Cloud, SAP owns and operates the platform and users must have dedicated authorizations.

Security

SAP S/4HANA Cloud fulfills the highest standards for protecting your data. As a customer, you don't need to consider any special security settings other than assigning appropriate user authorizations.

Technical Landscape

We are committed to the highest security and quality standards:

  • Business data is stored in secure data centers
  • Customers may share physical hardware, but data is always separated
  • Users who require access to business data must authenticate themselves, and their identity must be verified by user and access management
  • Customer data always belongs to the customer
