Monitoring Users

Hi,

We want to monitor our users for security reasons. Is there anyway to determine what every user does each day?

thanks,

Diwakar.

Hi,

To monitor each user profile is not a solution to your problems. You should tightly configure the user profiles, and take care of your basis. Also, when multiple users use a single ID, your information will not be correct, and this can lead to problems and more difficulties. However, it is possible to monitor your users. In order to do so, select the line item in the transaction (invoice posting) and go to the environment menu. Then click on item changes. The item changes will be displayed, and you can determine who has altered what and when.

Reward points if found helpfull...

Cheers,

Siva.

Hi diwakar,

there is a proved solution for this:

Let your security staff stand right behind the users desk and look what they do. Additionally, have user wear electronic handcuffs so that you can monitor them when leaving the desk.

It is advisable to make sure your work in an environment where human rights are strictly ignored, individual behavior is not desired at all and motivation will never be the foundation to increase productivity.

It may be cheaper to replace personnell by machines.

Hi,

You can monitor users in transaction SM04 .

But it is advisable that u assign authorisations roles for users so that they will not enter unauthorized transactions.

Hope this helps.
