**Request for Tools to Create Developer Key**

[KiranSAP3]

Hi Folks,

I hope you're doing well. We are currently working on creating a new developer key manually for our system. However, we do not have S-user access, and our installation number is set to "INITIAL."

Could you please advise on the appropriate tools or processes we can use to proceed with generating the key under these conditions?

Your assistance is greatly appreciated.

Best regards,
Kiran

Hi Kiran, 

Please create an s-user firstly as https://community.sap.com/t5/welcome-corner-blog-posts/how-to-generate-a-new-s-user-id/ba-p/13494625

Then follow the process to request an access key or developer key as stated in 
https://support.sap.com/en/my-support/keys.html?anchorId=section_1619633131

Developer & Object Keys (SSCR)

The SSCR (SAP Software Change Registration) registers all manual changes to SAP sources and SAP Dictionary objects. If an ABAP developer wants to change them in an SAP system, the system will prompt for two access keys:

• Developer key to register a particular user as a developer. This key must be entered only once.
• Object key to allow changes to SAP sources or SAP dictionary objects. An object must be registered when it is changed by a registered developer for the first time. If the object is changed at a later point in time, the key is no longer requested.

Requesting keys:

• Request keys through the SAP Software Change Request (SSCR) Key application.
• You must have the Register Object and Developer Keys (or at least Register Object Keys) authorization. To request it, please contact your company's super administrator.
• SAP matchcodes and tuning measures such as the setup of database indices and buffers are excluded from the registration.

Hi Kiran,

1. You must obtain the access key from the SAP support portal.

2. You can check the table name DEVACCESS to see how many user IDs are being registered. From those user IDs, you can proceed with the development.
