USMM - Which users included?

[Former Member]

Hello experts,

does anyone know how I can check the users counted by transaction USMM? The report gives me only the number of users grouped by their licence type, the deleted users and so on but I need to check which users are included in this amount 'cause I got some differences...

Many thanks in advance for your feedback!

You wanted to mean the type of users? Or the total number of users which is not matching the entries of USR02?

FYI:

System Response

During the measurement, the system follows the following rules (in this order):

1. With manually classified users, their classification is used

2. With users that take their authorizations exclusively from a reference user (no roles, no profiles) and for which the assigned reference user is classified, the classification of the reference user is inherited

3. For all other users, the system differentiates between those working in production clients, and those in non-production clients. Users in non-production clients are counted as TEST. Users in production clients may be assigned a user type that depends on the price list setting.

Procedure

You can use the system measurement transaction (transaction USMM, "User Classification" button) to determine the non-classified users, and classify them.

When creating new users with the user maintenance transaction (SU01), you can enter the measurement-relevant data immediately (choose the "License Data" button or tab page).

You can classify reference users in the system measurement transaction USMM by choosing "Goto" -> "Reference User Classification".

> 'cause I got some differences...

One of the possible causes of differences is that the standard users are "hardcoded" out of USMM --> SAPstar, DDIC, EARLYWATCH, SAPCPIC, TMSADM.

Another possible explanation, depending on your license, is that you are permitting multiple dialog logins for users and some of them have been doing exactly this --> sharing user ID's within departments. USMM will find them...

There are more, but these two are likely candidates.

Hi,

Simple logic is all the users whose validity date is greater than the system measurement date ran. Hence you need to perform user inactivity i.e. lock the users those who are not logged in to production and set their validity dates to past. SAP or USMM doesn't count this users.
