Management Using the Visual Administrator
Standard User
As of NetWeaver 2004s the standard users that are needed for communication, that is described under Technical System Landscape, are created during installation of SAP NetWeaver. For more information see the Installation Guide on the SAP Service Marketplace at the internet address http://sap.service.com/instguidesNW2004s.
The ADSuser is required for the communication between the J2EE Engine and the Adobe document services. This user was created in the J2EE Engine or in the SAP Web AS ABAP depending on the J2EE installation settings for the SAP User Management Engine (UME). It is in the SAP Web AS ABAP when the UME is configured against the SAP Web AS ABAP backend. Thus also a role ADSCallers in the SAP Web AS ABAP was created. The ADSuser is assigned to this role. The ADSCallers role in SAP Web AS ABAP appears automatically as the ADSCallers group in the J2EE Engine.
The service user ADS_AGENT in the SAP Web AS ABAP is required for the communication between the SAP Web AS ABAP and the Adobe document services when you use PDF-based printforms in the ABAP environment.
Each user has a security role assigned to it, which has been predefined in the system.
