# Setting Up SAP S/4HANA Cloud Private Edition (On Premise)

> Services, technical user and authorizations in your on-premise system, the SAP Cloud Connector, principal propagation, and what differs at runtime.

> **Draft brief for authors.** Section page for subscribers whose SAP S/4HANA system is on premise behind an SAP Cloud Connector. In the Private Edition tree of the portal these topics are the default; in the Public Edition tree they are reached through the callouts.

**Source in the product repository:** `docs/customer-setup-private-edition.md`, `docs/sap-editions.md`.

## In this section

- [Services, Technical User and Authorizations](https://help.rikaiso.com/public-cloud/2026.2/private-services-and-user.md): Activate the OData services of the object families in your on-premise system, create the technical user and give it the business authorizations MDM needs.
- [The SAP Cloud Connector and the Location ID](https://help.rikaiso.com/public-cloud/2026.2/cloud-connector.md): Connect the Cloud Connector to your subaccount, expose the system with a virtual host, and use the same location ID in both destinations.
- [Principal Propagation for Named Users](https://help.rikaiso.com/public-cloud/2026.2/principal-propagation.md): On premise the named-user mode uses principal propagation through the Cloud Connector; what to set up and what MDM refuses.
- [What Differs at Runtime](https://help.rikaiso.com/public-cloud/2026.2/private-edition-runtime-differences.md): MDM detects the release of your on-premise system and applies what that release offers: record numbers with leading zeros, longer material numbers, fields and operations per release, your own fields.
