Authorization management rarely makes headlines – until it becomes the thing that slows down onboarding, creates compliance risk, or simply cannot model how an organization actually works.
As SAP Cloud ALM grows into the central ALM platform across SAP’s cloud portfolio, the demands on its authorization model have changed. What was sufficient for a team of twenty does not hold up when hundreds of users across multiple workstreams need precisely defined, differentiated access – scoped not just to functional areas, but to specific process areas, scenarios, and organizational responsibilities.
The current model has clear limitations: predefined role collections with limited flexibility, no support for fine-granular delegation, and user management that is disconnected from where enterprises already govern their identities. These are not corner cases – they are consistent feedback from customers operating SAP Cloud ALM at scale.
This post outlines the direction we are taking to address them.
