system measurement user types

[Former Member]

while running transaction usmm for system measurement i noticed i get

results regrading 3 kinds of users - professional,limited pro,employee.

according to which principle the clasification to user types is made? -

in other words can i move user from one clasification to another

(professional to limited pro for example) or is it related to

rolesgiven to each user?.

Hello Moshe,

in transaction usmm there is a list called 'User classification'.

you get there via button or menu --> Goto --> User classification (Shift-F6).

But I think you were already there.

With a doubleclick on a user in the list you can assign another user type.

This has nothing to do with the roles which are assigned to the user.

Hello michael,

i already know how to assign user type but what i meant in my question was according to which criteria the user type clasification is made - why user x gets professional user type and user y gets limited pro user type - please correct me if i'm wrong - according to what u wrote it has nothing to do with roles then i can change user type clasification to every user without it making any damage?

as far as I know is this right.

The user types in transaction usmm are only for the pricing. The different user types cost different.

Hope this is right.

ok,then for what pupose are the different user types - the pricing is different for each user type - professional is much more expensive then limited pro.

according to what u said test user type is the same as professional or limited pro

Hello Moshe,

I don't get you. What's your problem?

User types are for pricing.

So every user type stands for a different fee you have to pay to SAP.

An user who only want to see data is cheaper than an user who want to change data.

When you do a system measurement and send the data to SAP, then they can evaluate the users with a certain user type and compute the fee for your user licenses.

p.S.: I never mentioned a test user type

Hello Michael,

I'll try to explain myself.

I know that each user type stands for a different fee.

I'm trying to arrange the status of user types in my system.I have users with professional user type,limited pro user type,and employee user type - can u please explain what each user type i mentioned stands for and which users should i classify as professional,limited pro and employee user types.

regards,

Moshe
