Reduce User ID length

Hi All,

In ABAP system we can create a user id of maximum length 12 (default) . My requirement is to reduce the maximum length of user id to 10. i.e. System should not allow us to create user ids of more then 10 characters.

Assume that it is newly installed system.

I have not got any profile parameter to restrict the user name length.

Could you let me know is it possible do this?

Regards

Preethish

Hi,

not in standard....

once again you could create a variant of SU01 (SHD0) and limit htere the field length of user-id to 10. (Do NOT change the standard!). Then allow user admins only to use that transaction variant....
