Security & GRC
What is User Type?
A classification of SAP users, such as dialog, system, communication, service, or reference, controlling logon behavior.
Dialog users log on interactively; system and communication users are for interfaces and cannot log on via GUI. Using dialog users for interfaces is a security risk. Test automation should use dedicated, clearly identified users.
