User Administration and Standard Users 

User Management Tools

The AS Java enables you to manage user data and authentication parameters using several tools. For an overview of the user management tools and a comparison of the functions and tools you can use for remote user administration during server runtime, see User Administration Tools.

User Types

Consistent with its open architecture, user classification on the AS Java follows group assignment and security policies. With the user administration tools for the AS Java, you can configure additional user types according to your authorization strategy and security needs.

For more information and standard user types, see User Types.

Standard Users and Groups

The AS Java has an open service provider architecture for storing user data, whereby you can use multiple data sources for persistent user data stores. The data store access and user management functions on the AS Java are supported by the User Management Engine (UME). In turn, the UME can use different user data sources, including AS ABAP, LDAP directories or databases.

For a list of the standard users and user groups on the AS Java, see Standard Users and Standard User Groups.

You can use the user administration tools of the AS Java to create additional users and user groups, according to your authentication and authorization priorities.
