Can I have diff transacton Variant for the same tcode?

Question

Hi Experts,
Can I have diff transacton Variant for the same tcode? If so i will i assign it to diffrent users.?
Requirement Details:
I have three diiffrent roles accessing XK02.
I need to provide diffrent transactions variants for these 3 roles, through Variant groups. How will i do this?
When i tried to do this, i found that, we need to activate a standard variant for the transaction, which inturn will be default for all these roles. S how will i specify different Transaction variant for diff  roles...
Please help..
In the below link i have seen a solution where i need to login into each users profile and set it.
link: [Variant Groups;
Thanks,
Jithin

The way you explain is strange, I don't understand. You can't assign manually a variant group to a transaction variant, this is done automatically based on the names, maybe you make confusion with assignment between variant group and user?
A little example:
Say we have : ZG1 for group 1, and ZG2 for group 2. Transaction is ZT.
Say user is assigned to group ZG1 by default, and also ZG2 (he may switch to ZG2 using the transaction I mentioned above)
When user runs ZT transaction, SAP uses automatically ZG1ZT transaction variant (the standard variant is ignored when a transaction variant is found based on variant group). If the user switches to ZG2 variant group, SAP uses automatically ZG2ZT transaction variant.
If you activate a standard variant, this will taken into account for users which don't have a variant group assigned, or those which transaction variant doesn't exist for variant group + transaction code.
If it doesn't work as I said, maybe there is a bug, check SAP notes...
