Hello,

Recently we had a refresh in our system and after the refresh I found that a background user BWREMOTE got changed to dialog user and more strange the change documents is showing that the BWREMOTE has itself changed the user type. anybody can comment to this scenario?

Looks like an amateur job (using dialog type user).

You need to restrict the access of bwremote itself.

The first step is S_USER* objects to display only.

Contact your BW developer team. For sure they did it.

Cheers,

Julius

It seems you misunderstood my question, BWREMOTE is a background user so how a dialog login is possible?

It seems you did not read the documentation on function module BAPI_USER_CHANGE.

It checks S_USER_GRP like SU01 does, and your BWRemote has SAP_ALL, right?

Yes, it is having SAP_ALL. I still have a doubt like, after system refresh the user type got change and when did it call tat function module. Could you pls elaborate a bit.

Someone called the function module and your system user was authorized for S_USER_GRP changes to itself... so you got "hacked"...

Restrict the access to that which it does need or at least remove "hacks"...

Thanks man, I have to check that FM too.

No.

The FM works fine.

You must check the access (authorizations) of bwremote...
