The S-User Lifetime was brought in to reduce the work of Super Administrators, previously S-Users would need to be deleted manually but this new S-user Lifetime project will help our customers by allowing them to add a expire date to S-Users. By default, a brand-new S-User will be valid for 24 months.
However, a shorter lifespan can be defined in the user request form. This can be an interesting option if for example, within a project a set end date is known. The shortest possible validity period is 1 day. During the last 90 days the ID holder and administrators will be regularly informed that the S-user needs to be renewed.

Who is affected?
All S-Users will be affected with the S-User lifetime with the exceptions of Super, Cloud and User Administrators and Partner Security Managers and Technical Communication Users.
What to do next?
An S-User and Administrator will receive an email that the S-User is about to expire.
Extension of S-User can be done by a Super Admin and you can locate who you Super admin is in the My Important Contacts
You can request extension of your S-User here and your Company's User Administrator will process this request. If the S-user ID is no longer needed, no action is necessary, it will be deleted automatically.
If the administrator does not intervene despite early notifications and enough lead time an S-User ID will first be deactivated and, in a second step, even deleted.
We advise that for your S-User login that you login with the S-User that you were notified in the email and not the email address as you may have more than one S-User associated to this.
Only in case you do have an active training subscription with SAP Training & Adoption / SAP Education, like SAP Certification, SAP Learning Hub or SAP Live Access, please take the following steps:
1. Create a new SAP Cloud login ID using the same email address of your S-User ID here.
2. Send a short notice to e-learning@sap.com containing the relevant email address. Our team will then reassign your training access to your newly created SAP Cloud ID.
