User Groups

Transaction code SUGR is used to create and maintain user groups in SAP system. The user groups commonly used to to categorize user into a common denominator, sort users into logical groups and allow segregation of user maintenance, this is especially useful in a large organization. User groups can categorized as two types,
• Authorization user group : In conjunction with S_USER_GROUP authorization object. It allows to create security management authorization by user group. e.g. you can have a local security administrator only able to manage users in his groups, Help-Desk to reset password for all users except users in some group.
• General user group : In conjunction with SUIM and SU10, to select all the users in a specific group. User can only be member of one authorization user group but several general user group.

Definition of SAP_NEW:-
SAP_NEW is a SAP standard Profile which is usually assigned to system users temporarily during an upgrade to ensure that the activities and operations of SAP users is not hindered, during the Upgrade. It contains all the necessary objects and transactions for the users to continue their work during the upgrade. It should be withdrawn once all upgrade activities is completed, and replaced with the now modified Roles as it has extensive authorizations than required.

Definition of SAP_ALL:-

SAP_ALL is a SAP standard profile, which is used on need basis, to resolve particular issues which may arise during the usage of SAP. It is used by Administrators/Developers only and is applied on a need to use basis, then withdrawn. It contains all SAP system objects and Transactions. SAP_ALL is very critical and only SAP* contains SAP_ALL attached to it in the production system. No other dialog users have SAP_ALL attached to them.

SAP_NEW is used in the Production environment during a version upgrade whereas SAP_ALL shouldn’t be or not allowed be used in Production (for audit purposes obviously), except where necessary, in a controlled manner with all proper approvals from the customer.
