There is no transport icon in tcode SUGR so you will have to transport the tables themselves. Create a workbench request and include the table contents of USGRP and USGRPT.

What JC said.. I have scribbled in my notes..

The user groups are stored in tables USGRP and USGRPT (texts).

If you want to transport the groups , you can create a transport (TABU)

for these 2 tables (transaction SE09).

USGRP and USGRPT tables are not Customizing but application tables. So changes will not be included/promted for transports.

Why do you want to transport them?

From an "overview" and S_USER_GRP perspective you should be able to copy & paste quite easily, I would think.

Transporting stuff normally is a requirement for keeping your DEV-QAS-PROD etc landscape "in sync". So you should have less and less user groups available, as you have less and less roles... moving up the "pipeline".

You might also want TEST user groups in DEV/QAS which you dont want in PROD. A different concept for organizing access to users in a group.

Cheers,

I usually cheat and start off with a transport when I am starting up a new environment, but I can get away with it because we use our user group scheme for a specific purpose that works across the board in all of our landscapes.
