How to Recreate the SAP* User

[Former Member]

Some how I deleted my SAP* user. How can I recreate it. If I try to create in SU01 I am unable to assign the SUPER role to it.

Hi,

After deleting the SAP* user you can logon to the system with user SAP* and PASS is the password.

Try it will work.

The automatically recreation depends on your sytem parameters, clever system setup is to NOT have the SAP* recreate itself as this is one of the biggest possibilities to open your system for hackers!!

If you cannot assign the super role (SAP_ALL you mean?) then look at your own access as your roles id missing something.

Anyway why should you want to receate SAP* normally you lock in an take the roles away in your systems.

See <a href="https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/68048">SAP Note 68048</a>: you can configure whether it should be possible to activate the emergency user ("automatic user" SAP*) or not.

Also take a look on <a href="https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/2383">SAP Note 2383</a> for recommendations regarding "super users".

<u>Notice</u>:

if you are using an ABAP system with release 6.x you'll have to restart the application server <u>after</u> deleting the USR02 entry (using an external SQL tool); reason: table buffering is active.

If you want to login with SAP*:PASS in a given client, you need to delete SAP* from that client (I assume you already did that) and set the profile parameter login/no_automatic_user_sapstar = 0.

After restarting the system, the profile parameter will take that value and you will be able to login with SAP*:PASS in the client where it was deleted.
