When you set up your Microsoft Sentinel workspace, there are [multiple architecture options](../design-your-workspace-architecture.md#decision-tree) and considerations. Considering geography, regulation, access control, and other factors, you may choose to have multiple Sentinel workspaces in your organization.

Your organization's SAP team has technical knowledge that's critical to successfully and effectively implement the Microsoft Sentinel solution for SAP applications. Therefore, it's important for the SAP team see the relevant data and to collaborate with the SOC about the required configuration and incident response procedures.

> For larger SAP landscapes, running queries made by the SOC on data from the SAP workspace can impact performance, because the SAP data must travel to the SOC workspace when being queried. For improved performance and cost optimizations, consider having both the SOC and SAP workspaces on the same [dedicated cluster](../../azure-monitor/logs/logs-dedicated-clusters.md?tabs=cli#cluster-pricing-model).

In this scenario, you want to keep all of the data in one workspace and to apply access controls. You can do this using Log Analytics to [manage access to data by resource](../resource-context-rbac.md). You can also associate SAP resources with an Azure resource ID by specifying the required `azure_resource_id` field in the [connector configuration section](reference-systemconfig.md#connector-configuration-section) on the data collector used to ingest data from the SAP system into Microsoft Sentinel.

Once the data collector agent is configured with the correct resource ID, the SAP team can access the specific SAP data in the SOC workspace using a resource-scoped query. The SAP team cannot read any of the other, non-SAP data types.

There are no costs associated with this approach, as the data is only ingested once into Microsoft Sentinel. Using this mode of access, the SAP team only sees raw and unformatted data and cannot use any Microsoft Sentinel features. In addition to accessing the raw data via log analytics, the SAP team can also access the same data [via Power BI](../resource-context-rbac.md).
