User Management 

Standard Users and Groups

There are a few standard users and groups provided with the SAP J2EE Engine:

·        Users

¡        Administrator

¡        Guest

The default password for both of these users is sap and you should change this default password, in particular for the user Administrator.

·        Groups

¡        all – This group is the default group that contains all of the users and groups on the server.

¡        guests – Per default, users in this group have restricted rights on the server.

¡        administrators – Per default, users in this group have administrator rights on the server.

Available User Stores and Corresponding Tools

The SAP J2EE Engine supports different user stores for saving the user information. Per default, the active user store is the DBMS user store, which uses the database from the J2EE Engine to store the user data. Alternatively, you can use the User Management Engine (UME), which provides additional functionality such as importing users from external systems or replicating users to an SAP System.

Depending on which user store is active, you have the option of using either the J2EE Engine User Management in the Visual Administrator or you can use the UME user management administration console. See the table below:
