Maintain user access and security in SAP Business one
Identity and Authentication Management (IAM)
SAP Business One Identity and Authentication Management (IAM) service allows users to authenticate with their Identity Provider’s (IDP) user when Signing-in to SAP Business One. An identity provider is a trusted provider that lets you use single sign-on (SSO) to access other websites. SSO enhances usability by reducing password fatigue. It also provides better security by decreasing the potential attack surface. Connecting SAP Business One with an Identity provider can help you manage user access in a secured manner without compromising on user experience during sign-in to SAP Business One.

Why is Identity and Authentication Management (IAM) Important?
Identity and Authentication Management systems allow organizations to verify user identity and access levels at all times while ensuring only the right people have access to data and applications. These controls are applied to employees, contractors, and customers to tighten security and improve visibility for IT teams. Applying this level of security and control to SAP Business One was a crucial step in the right direction. With over 60% of all data breaches related to user credentials, ERP system access must be protected aggressively and proactively. Since Business One IAM improves the user experience, there was no reason to delay.
