Technical User for OData in Cloud for Customer

Posted on Sep 11, 2017 at 08:46 AM 1.7k Views

Hey guys,

related to my (unanswered) question regarding OData calls, I was wondering whether it's possible to create technical users which can access OData services. Which Communication Scenario would I use in this case?

e.g. I'd like to create a user that can access, say, c4codata or one of my custom OData services. Currently I'm using business users.

Is that possible at all? Any help is highly appreciated.

Regards,

Patrick

    Hello Patrick,

    It is possible to create Communication Arrangement(CA) user (Technical user/Integration user) for OData services and use the same for system-to-system integration by following the below steps.To create an integration user, follow these instructions:

    • Define a communication system.
    • Define a communication arrangement.
    • Select the communication scenario OData Services for Business Objects.
    • Select an authentication method (Basic Authentication or Certificate based Authentication)
    • Select OData services to provide access.
    • Save and Activate the communication arrangement.

    Use the user id created in CA for accessing the OData service added to CA.

    Also refer the below blog.

    For everybody finding this: It seems as though technical users are not supported: https://blogs.sap.com/2018/07/13/configure-oauth-2.0-for-sap-bydesign-odata-services/comment-page-1/#comment-434815

    Patrick Deutschmann How were you using business users for this? Why you dont want to use business users for accessing api's. Any harm?

    I am asking this because in s4hana cloud some apis are only accesible using business users.

    Do you have sample code to access api using business users?

    Hi Patrick,

    The C4C OData API doesn’t support technical users. Instead, for such scenarios (e.g. system-to-system), you will have to use business users via basic or certificate-based authentication.
