Copying User Favourites

I searched the forum and couldnt find an appropriate post
Users in the Production system are given role based authorizations and in the user menu they get to see the host of roles they have. Due to the maze of transactions they have, they created individula favourites and one particular guys favourites have become the toast of all that specific country users
Now, we have been asked to copy the particular Mr.X's favourites to everyone else in that country - is there a way to do this?

Julius I dont understand this - when i create a user by copying from another ID, the favourites are also copied, isnt it? (I tried it and it does get copied) - maybe it is not that personal, anymore

I agree that Prahanths proposal is technically the correct one, but the problem being if i create a area menu and to add the area menu to a set of users, i suppose we would have to create a role and this role creation is a problem for me, it is not the technical difficulty but the number of iterations, validations approvals and final nod from the CAB comitte meetings that it would have to go through is what puts me off this approach
Sorry, i got it - i understand what Prashanth suggested

Which is fine for rest of the users.

  • Copy user login

    Dear All,
    I have a problem about user Login in SQL Server 2008.
    because I restore database from another server, user Login for that database already created but not in instance user login. So when user login into instance name they have failed login.
    what that i missed before restore database so when user login into instance they do not failed?
    or how that i can copy user login  from database to instance login? because when i add from add login wizard i have error user already created.
    please help.
    Best regards,
    Surbakti

    When a database is moved from one server to another server the login ids stored in the master database do not align with the login ids
    stored in each user database or there is no login id or password associated with the user and user in the database becomes ORPHAN.
    To fix this problem you need to transfer Logins & password refer below link to Transfer Logins & Passwords.

    Hi,
    In reports input Screen you have this option,
    In selection screen you can find, Save as a New varient, give some name and save , don't select Save as User Varient and save it.
    Note: Check with the select Save as User Varient & Use as default Varient options.

    You are authorized to assign the authorizations, systems, roles, profiles, and reference users that are assigned to the user to be copied. Otherwise, the role for which you do not have authorization is not copied to the new user master record. When copying or assigning a reference user, the system checks whether you are authorized to assign its profiles and roles.
    If you cannot copy the template user completely, because, for example, the reference user does not exist in the current system, the system displays a log with the exact causes of the error.

  • Copy user roles/profiles : Su01

    Hello,
    I want to copy user roles /privileges from one user to other?
    how do we do this and which user can do this ? my pisuper does not seem to have authority to copy user profiles from one user to other?
    Thanks

    Try to Copy the user(Src user to Target user) from SU01 by logging in your user. When it displays authorization error, open a new Session  of SU53. It will tell you the missing authorization  objects. Add those authorizations to your user & you will be able to copy Users using ur userid.
    If you want to keep it simple.. Give yourselves SAP_All. You can do whatever you want.

  • Copy users with their Org assignments

    Hi,
    I'm working in a SAP system in which SAP Users are directly linked to Positions (for indirect role assignment need).
    Is it possible to copy users with all assignments ?
    All tests done using SU01 only copy User's data without their assignments.
    Thanks and regards.

    Clear yes, relation with the original question, no.
    Gaetan  is talking about the position in the organization to which the USERID is linked. I personally think there's no way to copy that along with the user.
    You can link the copied user to the same position the original user had/has. But that would always be an extra action as far as I know. (This is another one were I'd love to be proven wrong....)
    If you have to copy a lot of users maybe you can ask in the HR forum(s) about automating the organizational assignment with ecatt.

  • Copying User Master without over writing

    All,
    I have a unique requirement from our CRM implementation team.  They want to extract a large number of users from our ECC system and upload them into CRM.  I know SAP_USER can accomplish this via a client copy, but they do not want he existing users to be overwrittern in CRM; as I remember the client copy will overwrite an existing data.
    Does any one know how to accomplish this?
    Regards,
    Jose

    Hi,
    As a workaround first take the export of  CRM users using SAP_USERS  and keep it, after take the export from ECC and Import into target system , once this is done, you can import your first export of CRM once again .
    But
    Copy user from ECC-->CRM
    How you are going to handle Auth profile ....????

  • Copied User Object remove Mailbox ID

    Hi,
    Not sure if this should be posted under groupwise? I created an new user account (from IManager)and copied from an exisiting object as the new user has the same job function. From Console 1 When I try to edit the new user they have the copied users groupwise account. Is there a way I can reove not dlete the copied user from the new user as it is grayed out and won't allow me to remove it
    Thanks

    Hi
    If memory serves right, just open console one, in the GroupWise view select the new user, right-click on it and some where under GroupWise utilities there is an eDir association option - just disassociate this account from the GroupWise account. You can then add the new user as a new GroupWise user.
    Let us know how it goes.

  • Copy user data from Desktop HD to external HD

    This is for a customer; I fix PCs and MACs for a living. Please answer all 3 questions below if you are able.
    Old PowerMAC G5 has non-working mouse (i.e new mouse in different USB connector fails too) PLUS Other problems too. It does boot to an account with no login Password. However Login password for user account with admin privleges has been forgotten by customer. Customer wants to get a new MAC to replace G5.
    So my job is to copy user data ONLY from PowerMAC HD to a NEW external usb HD for later copy to a MAC to be purchased later.. My plan is to use Target Disk to access the PowerMAC G5 HD (i.e G5 never boots with this approach; we are seeing G5 as it's HD ONLY.
    So we have a MAC laptop in the middle running OS 10.4 or higher (unknown at the moment) and I connect via firewire cable and Target Disk to the G5 and ALSO connect the new usb external HD. It then use Disk Utility to reformat the external usb HD to Apple OS extended. And also wipe out all permissions on the external HD.
    And then I drag and drop user home directories (and subfolders) from the G5 to the external HD.
    HERE IS MY QUESTION: When I try to copy the user account with admin privleges which DOES HAVE A LOGIN PASSWORD OR the admin account home directories will OS X on the MAC laptop in the middle ASK ME FOR THE CORRESPONDING ACCOUNT PASSWORD or in some other way (PLEASE SPECIFY) get in the way VS just doing the copy ??
    Because customer forgot the login password AND since mouse fails on G5, I cannot use an OS X install CD to wipe out the account password by booting from OS X Install CD etc etc.
    SO IF THE MAC IN THE MIDDLE ASKS FOR THE LOGIN PASSWORD I am dead, I have no way of backing up the customer's data, can only back up from the user accounts with NO login password.
    (2) I am also wondering if the MAC laptop will object to copying the home directories for user accounts with NO login password.
    (3) And if the MAC in the middle objects or asks for passwords PLEASE PROVIDE A WORKAROUND if you know one. Please provide step by step instructions or a link to same as my MAC knowledge is much inferior to my PC knowledge and I probably can not "fill in the blanks"
    Mike

    You will be asked to provide an administrator password for the computer you're working at during the copying process. The login passwords for the accounts aren't needed to copy the data, but if any account is protected by FileVault, that account's password will be needed to decrypt it.
    For example, if you're on a computer which has an administrator password of '1234' and are trying to copy the home folder of an account for which the password is '5678', you'll need to provide '1234' to copy the home folder, but not '5678'. Opening that account's FileVault-protected disk image home folder will require '5678'.
    Additionally, if the numeric UIDs of the accounts match, no password will be needed to perform the copy. This generally only applies to one account per computer, and is independent of account passwords.
