• Key Concepts: 
  User mapping is a feature of the SAP Enterprise Portal (EP) PIN Security component that allows users to map their user IDs to different roles and authorizations. This allows users to access different parts of the portal with different levels of access. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use user mapping, users must first log into the portal with their user ID. Once logged in, they can then map their user ID to different roles and authorizations. This can be done by selecting the “User Mapping” option from the portal’s main menu. From there, users can select which roles and authorizations they would like to map their user ID to. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When mapping a user ID to different roles and authorizations, it is important to remember that each role and authorization has its own set of permissions and restrictions. It is important to make sure that the user has the correct permissions for each role and authorization before mapping them.
