But not all SAP competence center member are happy with that. But it makes sense to move that way because of IDM and SSO in the future.

Subject: Best practices to set up users regarding naming convention i.e.
What are arguments, pro and cons in setting up users in SAP? Specifically the user id that is used to logon to the system. Some companies use:
A. Lastname with one character of the first name, like John Doe would be: DOEJ
B. Initials, like: JD
C. Personal number, origin HR, like: 102355
D. Other possibilities?
The user name is limited to 12 positions. So lastnames longer than 12 positions would become an issue. Also multiple employees with the same (long) last name will become an issue.
Some questions that arise:
1. What arguments are there for chosing one or the other options?
2. What is your company using?
3. And of course, are there privacy reasons to not use a name? (Singling out?)
4. Are there laws regarding this privacy?
5. Is lastname allowed following the GDPR? Or is it nog advised? Why?
6. Best practices?
Hope you can shine some light on this matter. |
