User Administration User administration in Incentive and Commission Management uses the mechanisms provided with the SAP

NetWeaver Application Server for ABAP , for example tools, user types, and password policies.

For an overview of how these mechanisms affect Incentive and Commission Management, see the sections

below.

In addition, we provide a list of the standard users required for operating Incentive and Commission

Management.

User Administration and Authentication .

User Types It is often necessary to specify different security policies for different types of users. For example, your policy may

specify that individual users who perform tasks interactively have to change their passwords on a regular basis, but

not those users under which background processing jobs run, for example:

Individual users:

o Dialog users

Dialog users are used for SAP GUI for Windows.

o Internet users for Web applications

Here, the same policies as for dialog users also apply for Internet connections.

Technical users:

o Service users

Service users are dialog users who are available for a large set of anonymous users (for example, for

anonymous system access via an ITS service).

o Communication users

Communication users are used for dialog-free communication between systems.

o Background users

Background users can be used for processing in the background.

For additional information on user types, see User Types in the SAP NetWeaver security guide.
