Situation: a person's sap account was deleted, but now that person needs it again with the same sap access as before

when you recreate an old sap user account in su01,

sap gives a message "found old user information, do you want to reacreate this".

Press yess, then all is copied except roles and profiles (empty)....

You can find them back via the menu : information<change dcuments for users.

Is there a way to make sure that roles (and/or profiles) are instantly copied from the old records of the sap account (like

the name, email user group, user parameters, etcetera)?

Regards,

ABC

No. There is no such feature.

The solution is not to delete the user but rather lock the ID and move it to a "retired" user group where it is protected. From there you can restore it again easily.

Cheers,
