User Types

Business Planning and Consolidation

The user types required for the application include the following:

  • Individual users

    • Dialog users are used for administration-related tasks.

  • Technical users — not required

Standard Users

Business Planning and Consolidation

The application does not require the creation of additional dedicated users for any special purposes. Its use is possible via user accounts created for regular users by assigning the necessary application-related authorizations to them.

User Data Synchronization

The application does not deliver additional user data synchronization related features in addition to those available in the SAP NetWeaver platform. It also does not impose any special needs or restrictions, which would limit the usage of related NetWeaver tools.

Recommendation

We recommend that the application is used in an environment where the same users exist throughout all the connected systems in the landscape.
