Support End-User Identity Propagation for Downstream Authorization and Auditing in Integrations Using CPI middleware

Watsonx Orchestrate currently supports Team and Member credential models for authenticating tools and connectors.

When a watsonx Orchestrate agent invokes a custom tool or prebuilt SAP connector and the request is routed through SAP CPI (SAP Integration Suite) before reaching SAP S/4HANA, there is no documented end-to-end mechanism to propagate the authenticated end-user identity to the downstream system.

As a result, SAP authorization checks and audit records are often evaluated against a shared technical account rather than the actual user who initiated the request through the agent.

The request is for a supported identity propagation approach that allows the originating Orchestrate user identity to be carried through CPI to SAP.

This would enable downstream systems to:

  • Apply existing user-specific authorization checks.
  • Record the actual requesting user for auditing and traceability.
  • Support both custom tools and prebuilt connectors used by Orchestrate agents.
