Mass Changes 

Most changes which can be made for one user in the user management can also be made for a set of users.

Logon data, constants, parameters, roles and profiles can be changed for a set of users.

You can make changes to a set of users with Environment ® Mass changes (transaction SU10) in the user maintenance.

If you use the Central User Administration, i.e. you make the mass changes from the central system, profiles and roles are displayed system-dependently. See Distributing users.

The mass user data change functions apply to the users displayed in the initial screen unless you make a selection.

You must choose Change in the Address, Logon data and Constants tabs for each change. This ensures that your change, e.g. deleting the contents of a field, is made for all fields.

Mass changes log

After each mass change you are asked in a dialog box whether you want a log. The log shows who made which changes in which system at what time.

The log contains several message levels which you can expand with a pushbutton. If a message has a long text, you can display it with a pushbutton next to the message.

You can make certain settings for the log display under Settings and the Color legend explains the colors used in the display.

You can print the log or save it in a PC file.
