New sap user creation

Hi All SAP experts,
My company has implemented 2 Systems SAP Landscape with one development and one production server which are running on R/3 Enterprise 4.7 (Kernel Release 6.20) with Microsoft SQL 2000 as database server.
I have the following questions regarding new sap user creation by using user copy function.
1.When I request to create new SAP User by using user copy function ,should I just create the user acct in DEV and transport it to PROD System? If yes, how could I do that?
2.When I request to create new SAP User by using user copy function, can I just create it on PROD System only? If yes, what is the impact?
3.When using User copy function to create new user acct, should I select all parts (like adress ,defaults,reference user, user groups.....) of the existing user to be cloned to new user acct?
Thanks.
Leon

Hi Leon,
Answer to your questions in their respective order:
1. You can create user in DEV and then make remote client copy to PRD system using scc9 t-code. Here you can choose user accounts and authorizations for the copy. ( Rem: Data will be overwritten in target system when copied).
You can also use client export/import(scc8/scc7)
But, When you do the client import from the exported files using STMS,you will have to select only one of the transport requests and then STMS automatically selects the other requests for you.
Then it will show you the different transport requests that you have created during your export, the client copy profile and the target system and client. The customizing and application data is deleted in the target client before copying for all profiles except SAP_USER. This is technically unavoidable (and hence the data will be overwritten).
So if you can afford overwritting of user data in target client , you can go with the above procedure.
2. Using  user copy in su01, you can copy one user to another user only in that client and is confined to that system only. So yes, If you want 2 or more users to have same authorizations, profiles ,etc etc.. you can choose this in PROD system.
3. It depends.. If you want user to be in same group, then you can choose user groups. If you want them to have same authorizations , you can choose roles and profiles... If you want them to have same company address and others,... you can select address.. and so on.
Also below link provides required steps in case you choose local/ remote client copy:

Hope this helps...

  • Business Partner ID same as SAP User ID

    Hi All,
    We have one SAP Service Desk Implementation going on.
    There is an intresting requirement as follows:
    1) BP ID generated should be same as their respective SAP User ID, irrespective of the BP Role.
    2) First Run for Mass Generation has to be done and that should take care of point 1.
    3) Business Partners should be automatically created by system whenever a new SAP User ID is created in system landscape.
    I know that if i use external number range, this can be done. Moreover there is one standard BP Mass Creation program also. But challenge is to find setting which makes this BP ID generated same as SAP User ID.
    In past, I have manually created external BPs like this because volume was very low in those projects... but now we have more than 1000+ users whose will be associated with service desk.
    Please advice.
    Regards,
    SM

    Hi,
    there is a technical problem with your request:
    BP numbers are limited to 10 characters but user IDs can have up to 12 characters.
    So you will not be able to set BP number = user ID if you have user IDs with more than 10 characters.

  • CUP - Issue regarding creation of New SAP ID in CUP.

    System :  SAP GRC 5.3 SP 12..
    We have requirement where in we need to design a workflow for creation of New SAP ID.
    The Naming convention followed for SAP ID is FIRST LETTER of FIRST NAME and LAST NAME with maximum 8 characters.
    For Eg
    JOHN SMITH would have SAP ID as JSMITH
    JERRY SMITH would  have SAP ID as  JSMITH01
    The requirement here is when user fill the REQUEST FORM for NEW User ID there is field where in the requestor need to put the desired SAP ID,
    Can a validation be set OR Logic be written so that user can put the SAP ID as per the naming convention..?
    Also , any other solution as to how the situtation can be handled in CUP...
    Regards.
    Ajit

    Hi Ajit,
    Yes, you can maintain the user ID in the Active Directory. User id will be now auto populated in the request form, from Active Directory when  we data Source is LDAP -Actice directory. So when user login to end user form to create a request, It's all information( user details + manager details ) will fetched from Active Directory.
    It is not possible to change userid in later stage of approval in the request.
    You can have security as final stage and guide them to create user manually as per naming convention.
    Make auto provisioning OFF in CUP

  • Can we Automate User Creation in SAP IDES?

    Hey Guys,
    I found this piece of information on Internet somewhere.
    "SAP provides a simple user creation mechanism for IDES system. An enhancement is already active by the name USRADMIN this contains code that executes just after the user logon. If somebody logs on as 'MUSTER' with password 'IDES' it prompts to create a user. and after the creation MUSTER is logged off. If the password of MUSTER is changed the program also reset the password to IDES always. the password is hard coded in the code
    For this to be active an entry has to be maintained in the table zides_user_procc . In this table we maintain the SAP system SID, client where this functionality is to be active and also maintain the reference user which will be copied to the new user ."
    *bol

    It was a while back, but the logic was like this:
    User logs into webpage on intranet.  Lets just say that authentication to that resource is dealt with separately here.
    User is presented with a form and fills in info like
    UserID required
    FirstName
    LastName
    email address
    Password
    This info is used by some backend VB code which initialises an RFC connection with SAP.
    Once RFC is established, a function module to copy an existing template user is executed (template user contains roles to copy etc).  The new user is created as required and you can then log on & use it.
    To be honest, most self service sandbox systems tend to be the log in using existing user & create yourself a user or run a prog which will do it for you.
    Hope that helps,
    Cheers

When end user is accepted requested report requirement in standard report or transaction data process then Functional consultant is sending request to Basis consultant along with authorization parameters like Role, Organization parameters, type of activity (create/change/display/delete) etc.
    Our Basis consultant is not agreeing for this process & he want to directly deal with end user for all activities & he will take help of Functional consultant if required.

  • SAP* user not working in new client

    Hi,
    I created a new client from SCC4. And now I am trying to login with SAP* user and pass password but it is not allowing. Note provided in SAP Config Guide is not working.
    I installed SAP Solution Manager 7.0 SP12 and then created a client.
    Please let me know how to solve this issue.
    Points will be awarded.
    Regards.

    Hi!
    I agree that the issue is probably due to the parameters for the automatic user SAP* - not sure about the Masterpassword though - the newly created client is only an entry in a table at this stage, so I don't think the system will know any password but the hardcoded one...
    Something you should be very careful about is the Java-Stack, which is part of SolMan7 and which runs SMD. The Java stack can only interface with one client properly, so I am not sure what's the idea behind the newly created client.

  • New user creation in AE- user group not getting assigned

    Hi All,
    Here is a typical case, wherein when we create a new user with AE for the production system, the user gets created and the roles are also assigned but the user group is not getting assigned. The user group is being fetched from a table from the backend and all that is working fine. Infact in order to test the configurations we even created a new user in the production instance of AE giving the development system as the target system for user creation and in this case the user was successfully created and the user group is also assigned. The problem is arising only when the target system is production system.
    Connectors are all working fine, but we are unable to think of a reason. Can somebody help us on this?

    Hi Vani,
    If you are provisioning the user group using user defaults, check  that production system is selected in the user defaults configured. Configuration -> user defaults. You can define any user default system, but for perticuticular user defaults that is applicable define all the systems, in which you want user defaults to be provisioned.

  • Essbase client missing after creation of new windows user profile

    I created a new windows user profile after an apparent corruption of my old one. However, when I open Excel, the Essbase client (add-in) is gone. Smartview is still there. The client doesn't show up after registering Essbase Add-In is executed. I can add the client by navigating to C:\Hyperion\products\Essbase\EssbaseClient\bin and selecting essxleqd.xla and essxcln.xll. The add-in then appears to be installed. However, when I try to connect to Essbase, the connection dialog box does not show up. I'm on version 11.1.1.3 and Excel 2007.
    Is there a way to resolve this short of re-installing the client? Any advice would be appreciated.
    Thanks in advance.
    dave

    I remember the Essbase add-in used to be a small executable of a few MB that was easy to install. It's my understanding that they went to the global installer where they include various product assemblies. The files needed to run the global installer for a simple add-in amount to close to about 4GB in size. Our VPN for remote users is very slow and takes forever to install. I see ther is still a small executable for the Smartview install. Is there a small executable for the Essbase add-in somewhere that I'm not aware of? I can reinstall if that's what it takes. I was hoping there might something a bit less time consuming.
    Thanks John.

  • Create new portal-user with webservice

    Hi,
    I'm trying to develop a ejb-webservice which is creating a new Portal-User.
    The webservice is working so far, I made methods like getDisplayName() which is returning the display name to a logonId and so on. All this is working. I'm using the component sap.security.api.sda for this.
    Problem: User-creation is not working. I think the problem might be, that a webservice is not authorized to create users? Or putting it in another way: Is it possible that a webservice is "logging in" at the portal, or sohehow authorizing itself?
    Thanks and regards
    Jan Hempel

    Hi Detlev,
    thanks for Your answer.
    It seems like that the problem was caused by using array-parameters in the webservice-method?!
    Strange, but after removing the array-parameter from the method it worked! Before the webservice never returned anything, not an error or anything else.
    Well, strange enough, but I can live with that.

  • Fits attribute on user id during user creation (Cont)

    Hi Experts,
    A little time ago , we posted some doubt regarding of how can we fits the attribute userID during user creation on User Interface.
    The previous discussion was posted here:
    "Fits attribute on user id during user creation"
    Link abou our issue "scn.sap.com/thread/3532549"
    As the Correct Answer:
    Alternative 2, add a To IdentityStore pass as part of the task workflow where your logic is implemented in a jscript:
    MSKEYVALUE=%MSKEYVALUE%
    ****AD_USER_ID=$FUNCTION.GENADUSERID(%MX_FIRSTNAME%!!%MX_LASTNAME%)$$
    The script is running very well, but when we create a new employee on HR System (No SAP) this this script is not running just for this new user but for all other users already exitents on IDM. The script increase in Mass an not just for new user.
    Does anyone know if this can be related with delta configuration, or this kind of validation ( create just for new employe placed on HR) needs to be done inside the script?
    THank you very much.
    Miguel

    Hello Miguel,
    is the "Create Identity"-task called by the HR-update-job?
    The screenshot in the old thread just shows the three inputs. I guess, there are some more in the used task. Did you check, if the other lines have the dot as a prefix, so that these attributes are only filled (and therefor the script only runs), when the entry is created, but not updated?
    If yes and it's missing for those two attributes, just add it.
    Regards,
    Steffi.

  • User Creation In portal Using NWDS

    Hello Experts
    Is there any way we can create a job in SAP Netweaver Portal using NWDS for the user creation.
    Any pointers will be extremely helpful as I am new to this.
    I am using SAP Netweaver 7.3 SP 09.
    Thanks
    Utsav Mishra

    Hi,
    You can use the sample code.You can create an  Abstract Portal component in  NWDS and write the required code inside of it.
    Users can be created with the UserFactory newUser() method.
    IUserMaint represents a modifiable user object. You must issue
            a commit() in order to actually create the user.
    An associated account needs to be created for the User with
            newUserAccount() using the UniqueID of the new User.
    Take care to delete the user if an error occurs (catch the
            appropriate exception and handle it).
    // Create User
    String uid = "testuser01";
    IUserMaint newUser = UMFactory.getUserFactory().newUser(uid);
    newUser.setFirstName("Test");
    newUser.setLastName("User");
    newUser.setEmail("[email protected]");
    newUser.save();
    newUser.commit();
    try
    // Create User Account
    IUserAccount uacc = UMFactory.getUserAccountFactory().
    newUserAccount(uid,newUser.getUniqueID());
    uacc.setPassword("secret");
    uacc.save();
    uacc.commit();
    // NOTE: productive passwords cannot be set if the
    // account is created in a SAP System
    // continue process by trying to set password flag…
    // Now try to modify password change flag for the new user
    try
    IUserAccount uacc = UMFactory.getUserAccountFactory().
    getMutableUserAccount(uacc.getUniqueID());
    uacc.setPasswordChangeRequired(false);
    uacc.save();
    uacc.commit();
    catch (UMException ex)
    //trace warning: “Password is not productive and has to
    // changed during the first logon”.
    catch (UMException umex)
    UMFactory.getUserFactory().deleteUser(newUser.getUniqueID());
    //trace error: “User cannot be created because of an
    // error which occurred during the creation of the
    // corresponding account object”
