Re: SAP user type Communication versus System and impacts

Hi Mélanie,

1. SAP note 622464 may help you as it describes the behaviour of user type B (SYSTEM). IMO there is no need to use user type C (COMMUNICATION) anymore, because in SAP note 327917 the list of usage scenarios for user type B includes the usage scenario of user type C.
   
   
2. The user type definition controls whether you can log on via SAP GUI or not and whether password rules are considered or not. Therefore I am not aware of any problems that are related to a change of user type from C to B. If the password status of your user type C was still "initial" then it will be set to productive for user type B which is the only possible password status for it. But there are no further impacts when performing the change on user types from C to B.

Best regards,

Stefan
