The activation and configuration of SAP Cloud Identity Services - Identity Provisioning (IPS) is a foundational setup step performed after running the initial booster for SAP Build Work Zone. This process establishes the mechanism for provisioning users and roles from a source system (like an HR system or Identity Authentication service) to the SAP Build Work Zone solution. This configuration is done once at the tenant/subscription level to manage the user base for the entire application. It is an administrative task exclusive to the subscription and is not related to individual service instances, which are primarily used for API-based interactions.

A. API-based deployment of UI integration cards

This action requires a service instance of SAP Build Work Zone (standard/api plan) and a service key to authenticate the API calls.

B. Application for users to access the solution

While the subscription provides the user-facing application, option D describes a more specific administrative scenario exclusive to the subscription's initial setup and lifecycle management.

C. API-based deployment of content packages

This process uses the Content Deployment API, which, like other APIs, requires a service instance and service key for authentication and authorization.

1. SAP Help Portal: SAP Build Work Zone

Advanced Edition - Initial Setup.

Reference: In the "Initial Setup" guide

the section "Run the Booster for the Initial Setup" describes the automated configuration. The subsequent manual steps

detailed in sections like "Configure Identity Provisioning

" clearly outline that IPS is configured for the entire subscription to manage user access to the application. This is distinct from service instance management.

2. SAP Help Portal: SAP Build Work Zone

Advanced Edition - Content Deployment API.

Reference: The "Prerequisites" section for using the Content Deployment API explicitly states the need to create a service instance and a corresponding service key. This confirms that scenarios involving API-based deployment (Options A and C) are directly tied to a service instance

not just the subscription.

3. SAP Discovery Center: Set up SAP Build Work Zone

advanced edition.

Reference: This official mission guides administrators through the setup process. Project board tasks clearly separate the "Booster: Enable SAP Build Work Zone" (which handles the subscription and high-level trust) from subsequent tasks like "Configure Identity Provisioning Service". This reinforces that IPS configuration is a subscription-level administrative task.
