To copy or transport clients, you need the appropriate authorizations. There are two types of authorizations: general authorizations for client copy, and special authorizations that depend on what you want to copy.
The nitial user SAP* has all authorizations required, except authorization to create a transport request. It can be used for all client copy tools except the client export (SCC8).
