Hi,

1) use a CATT (transaction SCAT) to generate user in different system;

2) use SU10 and select user by XXX (user group, role, name,...)

for 1) check this:

Hi,

1. Users cannot be copied from one instance to another unless there is a remote client copy or a local client copy as the case may be. If the instances are different it has to be done via remote client copy. Tcodes are SCCL for local client copy and SCC9 for remote client copy.

2.I am unable to make out what u mean to do. Pl explain a bit more.

3.For this use local client copy.

Before proceeding go to tcode scc4 in edit mode. Go to edit tab and click new entries. Here add the details of the new client u want to create.

Logon to the new client and make the client copy.

Hope this helps.

Dont forget to award a point if helpful

Hi,

Here is the answers for your questions.

1. How do we copy users from one area to another?For example from Dev to PRD

Ans. : With remote client copy (SCC9), we can copy user master records from one system to another. select client copy profile sap_users. But normally developers and other technical users will work in developement system, and endusers or production users will work on the production system. few users will have access on all the systems. Manually we have to create these userids, if not use CUA.

2.How do we copy from one area to another e.g from SD area to FI area ?

Ans. : We won't copy users, when they move from one department to another department (i.e SD to FI). we simply change the roles and authorizations.

3.How do we copy from one client to another in same instance

local copy SCCL is better for one client to another client. select client copy profile sap_users.

I hope, your doubts got cleared now.

Thanks,

Praveen.
