 Create Internet User

Use

Your customers can use this Internet Application Component (IAC) to create an Internet user so that they can log on to the IACs in Media Sales and Distribution (IS-M/SD) and Advertising Management (IS-M/AM).

The Internet user is not the only option your customers have of logging on to an IAC. Logon can also take place using other application-specific data (customer number, order number, address, bank data). However, your customers need an Internet user if you want them to log on with a password. You define the logon procedure for the IACs and whether or not an Internet user is required for logon in the Customizing settings.

Type of Internet Application Component
Consumer-to-Business; Business-to-Business

Implementing the Internet Application Component Create Internet User on your website has the following advantages for you and your customers:

  • Your customers can create their Internet users themselves, which allows them to protect their subscription data with a password.

  • The workload for your employees is reduced, since they do not need to create Internet users in the SAP system (transaction SU01) for existing customers. The application also reduces the need for communication.

  • You can use the Internet user concept in a variety of ways and “sell” it to your customers as an online account.

Prerequisites

Authorizations

An Internet user gives the customer password-protected access to their orders and master data. To avoid abuse, the customer should be checked before an Internet user is created. You have a variety of options for doing this. Firstly, you can design a check scenario using further customer data (order number, customer number, address, bank data, credit card data), which corresponds to the logon scenario for the subscription service IACs. Secondly, you can send the access data for the Internet user to the e-mail address recorded for the customer in the system.

Standard Default Values

You must make a variety of settings in Customizing for the Internet Application Component Create Internet User. These settings define the different variants of the IAC. For more information, see Start of the navigation path Master Data Next navigation step Business Partner Next navigation step Internet Application Components Next navigation step IAC Create Internet Userin the Implementation Guide forSAPMedia. End of the navigation path

Access

You access the IAC using the URL http://.../sap/bc/gui/sap/its/media/jgwwwiu1?key_user=<key>&~okcode=strt :

<key> stands for a key defined in Customizing that references all the data and control parameters for a variant of this IAC.

Features

The Internet user gives the customer access to the Internet Application Components (IACs) for IS-M. The Internet user is assigned to one business partner. Access is also possible with other data, depending on the Customizing settings for identifying and checking business partners.

Creation of an Internet user can be designed in various ways. You can define how the check on the customer mentioned above is to be performed. The access data (password and user name, if applicable) is either entered by the customer or created by the system. This data can be displayed for the customer or sent to them by e-mail.

If Internet users are created on the basis of transaction SU01 or access data is to be sent by e-mail, you need the customer’s e-mail address. This may give rise to various situations (for example, no e-mail address is recorded for the customer in the system or the e-mail address specified by the customer does not correspond to the one specified by the customer). You can choose one of several strategies of how to proceed in these situations; among other solutions, you can have the application process a separate screen for determining the e-mail address.

Possible Adjustments

You can modify the application by means of the Customizing settings and by designing the templates. You can show and hide fields as required. The Internet Application Component Create Internet User , or transaction JKWWWIU1, on which it is based, provides you with a field list for this purpose. Add the fields you want to display to the templates; data exchange between the screen and the template takes place based on the field name.

Any additional fields required can be added using the relevant customer subscreens and incorporated in the templates. The following customer enhancements are available in this application:
