Difference between user groups

[Former Member]

Dear Experts,

I am currently experimenting with roles, user groups, and creating users

I am having a hard time understanding the differences between the user groups

From what i understand, there are two user groups. There is a general user group and an authorization user groups.

I am trying to understand why there are multiple different versions of user groups and what they are used for.

Thanks for your help in advance.

Hi James,

User Group for Authorization (SU01 - Log-on tab) is used to segregate users per administrator. Let say 2 group are there for 2 country. And 2 administrator are assigned to maintain these 2 group. So they should not be able to maintain other country users.

Whereas General user group (SU01 - User group tab) is to segregate users as per their domain. It has no impact on authorization control. And it has less utility. So far I did not see a client to use this. Purpose of this group is served by earlier one only. So people are less bothered to maintain additional data here.
