Maintaining User Master Records
User master records are client-specific. You therefore need to maintain individual user master records for each client in your R/3 System.
When you maintain user master records, you assign authorization to individual users in the form of profiles. You can create a user master record in two ways.
You can create a user master record by copying an existing one. However, you can also create a completely new record and then enter the data yourself.

User Master Records and Activity Groups
Activity groups come into play if you create authorization profiles using the Profile Generator. An activity group is a collection of activities (transactions) for which you can use the Profile Generator to generate an authorization profile automatically. You then assign the activity group to the user master record as a task profile.
