In which SAP HANA deployment scenarios will end users be created as users in the SAP HANA system?

In SAP HANA Live scenarios, end users are created as users within the SAP HANA system itself. This setup is part of the architecture where SAP HANA Live provides access to real-time operational and analytical data directly from the HANA database. It allows for the creation of specific roles and authorizations in the HANA environment tailored to the end users who will access this live data.

In contrast, other scenarios like SAP S/4HANA, SAP HANA as a platform, and SAP BW powered by SAP HANA typically manage user access through the underlying application layers rather than the HANA database directly. In these scenarios, user authentication might be handled through services such as SAP Identity Management or by leveraging the existing user roles from the ERP systems, which may not necessitate the creation of users directly within the HANA database. Therefore, in the context of how and where users are created and managed, SAP HANA Live distinctly qualifies as the scenario that aligns with creating end users directly in the HANA system.
