Dear Experts,

Can anybody please provide information about the exact use of Parameters tab, user groups tab in SU01.

HI,

Parameter has fields that a user wants to get auto filled when he open some Tcode. This field can be filled with proposed values from SAP memory using a parameter ... According to SAP User parameters supply defaults to SAP fields. If a field is indicated,the system automatically fills in the default value. Depending on the field definition, the entry can also be replaced with a value entered by the user.The two input fields on the parameter maintenance screen are described briefly below.

Parameter: Enter the parameter ID for which you want to define a default value. You can display all of the parameter IDs defined in the system by choosing F4.

Value: Enter the default value for the parameter.

In other words, you can use it to create defaults for that user specifically. The challenge now is to figure out which parameter do what and for that I don't have much information. If anyone has it please share

with us.

User group can be used for different reasons and in different way.In the latest versions of SAP, actually two types of usergroup exist, the authorization user group and the general user groups. User Groups also allow segregation of user maintenance, this is especially useful in a large organisation as you can control who your user admin team can maintain - an example would be giving a team leader the authority to change passwords for users in their team. The most important factor identified is that the lack of user groups is an indication that there may be problems with the user build process. This is very "fuzzy" but is a bit of a warning flag
