What is the Advantage of creation of user group through SUGR?

[Former Member]

Hello Masters,

As per audit requirement I have maintained user groups for different sets of users through SUGR, but I am not getting except differenciating users (based on group), is there any other advantage? Can we assign role to a user group instead of assigning to list of users or can we do any mass changes to an user group by giving only user group name.

Dear Neels,

Apart from maintaining user group for Differnciation purpose you can also take the advantage on the following sectors:

1. Follow the http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/ce/17533e5ff4d064e10000000a114084/content.htm link . From this you will come to know the use of user group in the authorisation area.

2. User Groups also allow segregation of user maintenance, this is especially useful in a large organisation as you can control who your user admin team can maintain - an example would be giving a team leader the authority to change passwords for users in their team.

3. The authorization user group is used in conjunction with S_USER_GROUP authorization object. It allows to create security management authorization by user group. e.g. you can have a local security administrator only able to manage users in his groups, Help-Desk to reset password for all users except users in group SUPER, etc...

In case any issue, please feel free to reply.

Hi,

You can restrict (Authorization) some action types based on user group and it will helps you while reports generation Other group will not access the another group reports such as like Travel reports will not acess Time admin etc..

It can the authorizations while mapping business in Big Accounts (Implementaions of Client)

Exe:

Your having Time admin, payroll admin and Personnel admin and Travel admin, Trining Admin and Sales Admin HR having different Action type for hiring Sales person etc...

Based on their tasks you will proviode them different action types will be visible for their roles when maintaing user group in parameters.
