[Cloud Identity Services] Assign SuccessFactors user to IAS group via transformation
Source System: SuccessFactors
Target System: Identity Authentication
When using ias.api.version 1
{
"condition": "$.emails[0].value =~ /.*@abc.com.*/",
"constant": "DEV_IDP1",
"targetPath": "$.groups[0].value"
},

[BTP] Create sap-successfactors-extensibility service providing a technicalUser
Prerequisite, you have registered an SAP SuccessFactors system in your Global Account (see here). Creating the sap-successfactors-extensibility service can be done via command line:
#Created the service instance
#An HTTP destination on a subaccount level with the same name as the service instance name is automatically generated
cf create-service sap-successfactors-extensibility api-access myInstanceName -c '{"systemName": "SFCPART000000","technicalUser": "sfadmin"}'
#Bind the instance to an application
cf bind-service myApp-srv myInstanceName
Find an explanation of the parameters here: https://help.sap.com/docs/btp/sap-business-technology-platform/authentication-type-json-file
This service instance will result in creating:
- a separate OAuth2 client application on SFSF side (can find in SF in Manage OAuth2 Client Applications)
- a separate destination definition on a BTP sub-account level
The technicalUser parameter can be specified only during creation. There is no possibility to provide it afterwards using cf update-service. It may be possible to manually update the technicalUser in the destination, which got automatically created. But I did not test this yet.
Of course, the same service creation can also be done via mta.yaml.

# SuccessFactors Extensibility Service
#####################################################################################################################
- name: myInstanceName
type: org.cloudfoundry.managed-service
#type: org.cloudfoundry.existing-service
parameters:
service: sap-successfactors-extensibility
service-plan: api-access
config:
systemName: SFCPART000000 # <-- Provide your system name
technicalUser: sfadmin
For initial deployment, you need the line type: org.cloudfoundry.managed-service. For all further deployments, you have to comment that line out and comment in the next line type: org.cloudfoundry.existing-service. Else you will receive an error.

[BTP] Difference between Platform Users and Business Users
“Platform users are usually developers, administrators or operators who deploy, administer, and troubleshoot applications and services on SAP BTP.”
“Business users use the applications that are deployed to SAP BTP. For example, the end users of your deployed application or users of subscribed apps or services, such as SAP Business Application Studio or SAP Web IDE, are business users.”
