HI,

Principal propagation means the ability to forward the user context of a message unchanged from the sender to the receiver.

the message is executed under the same user in all participating messaging components.

In such ..

Users to be propagated must be maintained in the messaging components with the same name as in the sender system. For security reasons, we recommend that you create these users as users of type system and not as dialog users. These users must be assigned the role SAP_XI_APPL_SERV_USER.

If you use access control lists (ACLs) for messages with specified sender systems or interfaces (see SAP Note 852237), these ACLs must include propagated application users if principal propagation is applied.

I hope the above links are useful..

Regards

Chilla..
