Everyone User Group

Wednesday, April 30, 2008

A user accessing the backend SAP system requires the “everyone” permissions on the system object connecting the SAP system. The end user permission has to be granted which will open the doors for the portal to access transactions in SAP. The everyone user group contains 2 types of users: Authenticated users and Anonymous users.












Any user accessing the Portal belongs to the authenticated user group by default since he is authenticated to access the portal. If the permissions don’t list the everyone user group in the system object the user being authenticated cannot access the SAP system. This is a very logical explanation for many folks struggling to connect Portal to a SAP system without giving the super admin role or belonging to the administrator’s user group. When a user is granted the super admin role or belongs to the administrator’s user group he/she can access anything on the backend SAP system. If the super admin role is removed or removed from the administrators user group the user is unable to access the backend system. This is a very common issue and learning more about this everyone user group can give you a logical explanation for this problem.
