Defining User Attributes

Use

You have to set several attributes when you create new users, assign users to employees, and assign roles to users (assign authorization). The attributes relate to:

  • Validity period

  • Password assignment

  • Role

  • Logon data

You can define these attributes as default values. When you create or assign users, you can adopt or overwrite these default values if necessary (with the exception of the role).

Prerequisites

You are in the Set Up and Maintain ESS Users (Start) screen in transaction HRUSER.

Procedure

  1. Choose User attributes from the application toolbar or Change user attributes/key date in the User/Authorization Assignment group box.

    The Attributes of Users screen appears.

  2. Define the required default values. If you require more information about the entries you can make in this screen, choose Information .

    Note Note

    The user group ESSUSER is a fixed user attribute that you cannot change. It distinguishes users who are authorized to use ESS from other system users, such as system administrators.

    End of the note.

  3. Confirm your entries by choosing Execute .

Result

You have now created default values for assigning attributes.
