SAP USER'S

1. SAP*
2. DDIC
3. EARLYWATCH

SAP*

     

       SAP* is the super user of SAP system and used for doing client copy. SAP* is the only user in the

SAP System that does not require a user master record, but that is instead defined in the system code

itself. SAP* has by default the password 'pass', as well as unlimited system access authorizations.

When you install your SAP System, a user master record is defined for SAP* with the initial password

as the master password (set during installation) in clients 000 and 001. When temporary license expires only SAP* user is allowed to login to client 000 to install permanent license.

Note: Now S/4hana not required SAP* for Run Client copy.

DDIC

     

       It is the maintenance user for ABAP Dictionary and software logistics. It is used for any upgrade or

installation type of work like,

1. TMS Configuration,
2. Applying Support Packages and Add-ons.
3. Implementing SAP Notes etc.

• Best practice is not to use DDIC user but create a new user by copying from DDIC.
• DDIC is the only user that is allowed to log on to the SAP System during an upgrade.
• DDIC is hard coded to do some things other IDs cannot and restricted from doing some things that other IDs can.

EARLYWATCH

        

    The SAP Early Watch service uses this user. This user should only be used for Early Watch functions

like monitoring and performance analysis. 

Note: This user no longer available in S/4hana platform.
