Configuring SAP user authorizations

Configuring SAP user authorizations

The SAP administrator needs to create a profile in the development, test, and production SAP system so that you can use the integration features. This profile name must include authorization for the objects and related activities. The profile on the test system should be the same as the profile on the production system.
The setup of the user and profiles is done within SAP using the SAP GUI. This activity is external to
Data Integration

You must add the S_RFC authorization object to run tasks with the BAPI/RFC functions at runtime. In addition to the above authorization, you must have access to any BAPI/RFC function that you want to run.
