System user

[Former Member]

Hi Everyone,

What is the use of " SYSTEM" user and I know it is user for background processing.

By SYSTEM user we can not login to the system.

My query is where can we use the SYSTEM user exactly in SAP BASIS.

With Regards,

Prashant,

if the user does not need dialog access to the SAP System, then define it as a system user. Since password restrictions doesnt apply you DONT NEED to change passwords after validity period ends.

If the user is an anonymous, public user that many different individuals can use, then define it as a service user and keep its authorizations to a minimum. (Ex the PIAPPLUSER that we use for backend systems to get into PI ..etc
