This is one of the default system users, nothing to worry about.

Hi Rakesh,

Following are the different types of users with the characteristics:

Characterization of user types

*Dialog user 'A'*

Individual system access (personalized)

Logon with SAPGUI is possible. The user is therefore interaction-capable with the SAPGUI.

Expired or initial passwords are checked.

Users have the option of changing their own passwords.

Multiple logon is checked.

Usage: For individual human users (also Internet users)

*System user 'B'*

System-dependent and system-internal operations

Logon with SAPGUI is not possible. The user is therefore not interaction-capable with the SAPGUI.

The passwords are not subject to to the password change requirement, that is, they cannot be initial or expired.

Only an administrator user can change the password.

Multiple logon is permitted.

Usage: Internal RFC, background processing, external RFC (for example, ALE, workflow, TMS, CUA)

Communication user 'C'

Individual system access (personalized)

Logon with SAPGUI is not possible. The user is therefore not interaction-capable with the SAPGUI.

Expired or initial passwords are checked but the conversion of the password change requirement that applies in principle to all users depends on the caller (interactive/not interactive). (*)

Users have the option of changing their own passwords.

Usage: external RFC (individual human users)

_Service user 'S'_

Shared system access (anonymous)

Logon with SAPGUI is possible. The user is therefore interaction-capable with the SAPGUI.

The passwords are not subject to the password change requirement, that is, they cannot be initial or expired.

Only a user administrator can change the password.

Multiple logon is permitted.

Usage: Anonymous system access (for example, public Web services)

Reference user 'L'

Authorization enhancement

No logon possible.

Reference users are used for authorization assignment to other users.

Usage: Internet users with identical authorizations

Hello Rakesh,

Out of curiosity, where in n_k's answer was your confusion cleared?

Kind regards,

Julius

"user" SAPSYS = "the system itself"

Same as the MS Windows account "SYSTEM".

This system account is used to run the background processing scheduler and to perform other system-internal operations (most of them executed as so-called AutoABAP programs). Notice: the user 000/SAPSYS has no authorizations - and therefore can only perform such operations where no authorizations are required.

Hello Wolfgang,

Thanq very much for ur clarification.

another doubt is , i have seen GUI, RFC types of logins.Bur never seen HTTP type(as for original message).where it comes and in which scenario?

Rgds,

Gadde.

[WolfgangJanzen]

In SM04 you'll only see the so-called taskhandler sessions.

The (current) http connections you can see in SMICM -> Goto -> Display Connections.
