SECATT for Creating Large Number of CRM Users

[Former Member]

I'm looking for some information regarding SECATT, and how to create a "script" for the mass creation of users based off an excel spreadsheet, specifically in a CRM system.

i can't seem to find any documentation regarding the use of SECATT.

Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated

Thank you!

Hi Nigel

Here are some tutorials here to get you started:

Once you have the hang of it, it can save you much time. You can then apply that concept to lots of different tasks.

If you are doing the create & assign of roles then I recommend 2 scripts

1. Create UserID using SU01

2. Assign Roles using SU10 (allows you to append & saves messing with page downs & stuff which is a pain with scripts)

You can also use LSMW if you are so inclined but that is like alchemy to me.

perfect, thanks Alex.

i'm actually going to be copying the CRM users based off a Reference user with the roles already assigned. I just need to auto-populate fields such as:

- first name

- last name

- password (if necessary)

- change from Reference to Dialog

- maybe user group

I'll give the docs a try, and report back on my progress and how it turned out.

Thanks again

Hi ,

Using secatt , you can create any number of users and do the role assignments , provided if the all the users are assigned to the same set of roles. But the address data and passwords need to be set manually for each and every user manually which is a manual and hectic.

But any ways you can reduce your work to some extent.

Very important point to be noted is if you are trying to use SECATT procedure to in production system, you need to get approval from business application owner to open the client and production client status to be changed to " SECATT ALLOWED " because by default production cleint will be in status "secatt not allowed "

Ecatt will automate address data and passwords, no need for doing it manually.

This is also incorrect. You can be much more flexible than that with SECATT.
