Security gurus,

In my SAP environment, 2 login languages are installed which are "EN" and "JA"(Japanese).

But, I wants to control the login language by such way.

- For Finance department users: User can select whether to login by "EN" or "JA"

- For non-Finance department users: User can login only by "EN".

Is it possible?

This is not about "Default login-language".

Yoshi

Hi,

this is one of the strangest requirements I've ever heard. Why would you prevent a language to a group of users?

It's not possible. A user can select a language on logon screen. At that moment a user is not logged in so you don't know user's department. For SAP GUI connection there is a well known user exit that is executed after user logs into system. So you could check the language there and raise an error message if a user selected "invalid" language.

Cheers
