In my experience, termination usually refers to the deactivation of the User Master

Deactivation can involve:

- Lock User

- Insert end date in the user master record

- remove roles

- change user group to TERM, LEAVER, EXPIRED etc.

It could also refer to terminating a user in HR

Hi Srinivas,

Deletion means to remove the user from system completely. For this you need to delete the user id in SU01. I think by termination you mean termination of user sessions. When a user logs into SAP session(s) is created for him. Now if you want to terminate a user that might as well mean terminating all the sessions for the user. This can be achieved using SM04.

Please award points for useful answers.

Regards.

Ruchit.
