Assigning Variant Group to Users

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

Prior to opening this question, I've read the following posts about variant group (tcode: SHD0):

I am looking for a way to mass assign users into the variant group. From my findings:

----------------------

You can use this procedure of user assignment for all other users that you want to add to the variant group.

However, you can also enter user names generically (*). If you then choose Assign, a selection screen appears, on which you can

○Choose whether assignments or proposals are to be changed

○Further restrict the user names

The group in the option All Users from Group does not refer to the variant group, but rather to the user group for authorization checks from the user master record (logon data).

-----------------------

Hence, what does it mean by "user group for authorization checks"? Who in a typical SAP support team do I contact to set this up, i.e. is it the SAP Profile Admin?

Thanks.
