This question is very similar to your other two questions: and . Are you just curious or do you have a reason for asking??

hi, rob, actually, my userid's very limited, i was thinking of logging on using SAP*

so i can download some files (using SE16) for my work, but it just dont feel right to use/try/attempt it since

it belongs to the SUPER USER Group. Our IT guys might know about it.

what can u say about it?, is it ok? , or would i get into trouble using it.?

thnks..

If your authorizations are limited, there's a reason for it. Best to go to the powers that be and ask for expanded authorizations.

Yes - you could get into trouble using SAP*

> would our IT Group know about this..?

Not only that, but the logon program uses a progress indicator to measure how nervous you are when logging on as SAP. This is also the case if SAP was deleted shortly before hand. Additionally, it is intelligent and can maintain it's own patterns of suspect behaviour (e.g. going straight for SE16 and certain Infotypes... or account information...)

In these cases, the system then sends an alert to the moderators of the SDN basis forum with the IP address and names of other user ID's which have been logging on from the same terminal (for example, yours is close to Quezon City... somewhere on the south end of Ayala Avenue..).

We then use the name and the IP address to scan the internet for any other illegal activities from the same source. This is not because we really want to stop them from misusing SAP* for a short while, but rather because we want them to go to jail for a long time.

=> It will be much easier and safer for you to ask for the correct authorizations to do your job properly.

Kind regards,

Julius
