## 13.2.11.3.1  User Administration
User administration in Incentive and Sales Force Management uses the mechanisms provided with the SAP NetWeaver Application Server for ABAP , for example tools, user types, and password policies.
For an overview of how these mechanisms affect ISF see the sections below.
In addition, we provide a list of the standard users required for operating ISF.

## User Types
It is often necessary to specify different security policies for different types of users. For example, your policy may specify that individual users who perform tasks interactively have to change their passwords on a regular basis, but not those users under which background processing jobs run, for example:
- Individual users:
- Dialog users Dialog users are used for SAP GUI for Windows.
- Internet users for Web applications Here, the same policies as for dialog users also apply for Internet connections.
- Technical users:
- Service users Service users are dialog users who are available for a large set of anonymous users (for example, for anonymous system access via an ITS service).
- Communication users
- Communication users are used for dialog-free communication between systems.
- Background users Background users can be used for processing in the background.
For additional information on user types, see User Types in the Security Guide for SAP NetWeaver .
