## 6.3.1.13.1  Users
There are different categories of users for different purposes and with different capabilities. Business users represent end users performing day-to-day business tasks. They constitute personal data and their lifecycle is governed by retention and deletion policies.
Technical users are used in the background for system tasks such as inter-system communication, printing, and support.
## Business Users
## Relation of Employees and Business Users
Employees are metadata-records containing personal and employment-related data. Employees do not have access to the system directly, but only via corresponding business users.
A business user corresponds to a real-life person who works with the system interactively. It is a user with a business partner assignment (either an employee or a contingent worker). Business users are created to allow a person access to the system. You can maintain business users in the Maintain Business Users app. Authentication and logon for business users happens at the identity provider.
## Business User Authorizations and Monitoring
You can assign business users to business roles in the Maintain Business Roles app. The main purpose of the app though is to create and adapt business roles.
Information about currently assigned business roles can be found in the IAM Information System app and the IAM Key Figures app.
## Business User Lifecycle
Business users that haven't been used for a certain time can be automatically locked. For more information, see How to Lock Unused Business Users in the Related Information section.
Retention and ultimate deletion of blocked business users is governed by the Information Lifecycle Management (ILM) component.
##  Note
Please note that ILM is not available in SAP BTP ABAP Environment.
## Technical Users
Technical users correspond to a local or remote process which is typically part of the cloud management process (such as system provisioning, support) or intrinsic system processes. There are technical users that belong to the software or service provider and there are technical users that belong to the customer.
You can get an overview of all technical users in the Display Technical Users app.
## Communication Users
The communication user is a technical user type aimed at technical communication. A communication user corresponds to a remote system that connects to your own system. You can define communication users in the Maintain Communication Users app.
## Support Users
Support users are a separate type of technical user for temporary access. These users are intended for SAP employees who access the system based on a support ticket from the customer. The Display Technical Users app shows which support users were created for the system on which incident.

## 6.3.1.13.3  Monitoring and Analysis
Monitoring and analysis tasks are part of the daily work as administrator.
Common activities in this context include the following:
- Find business users with unnecessarily high privileges (for example, too many admin users)
- Find business users with unnecessary or critical authorization combinations (the result of privilege creep)
- Find business roles granting access to data too generously (that is, having unmaintained restrictions)
- Analyze the root cause for authorization errors
You can use the IAM Information System app to monitor the relationships between business users, business roles, business catalogs, and so on.
The IAM Key Figures app enables you to monitor KPIs for your authorization system. It shows the number of locked business users, for example. Also, the number of unrestricted business roles is shown. Thresholds can be defined to visualize critical deviations from the desired state.
For the analysis of issues with privileges you can use the Display Authorization Trace app.
An overview of the technical users in the system - both communication users and SAP support users - is provided by the Display Technical Users app. The Maintain User Sessions app enables you to analyze sessions containing a lock and to find the associated business user.

## 6.3.1.13.4  Manage Changes and Deprecations After Upgrade
Your system is upgraded regularly to deliver new features and improvements.
These changes may include changes or deprecation of apps, business catalogs, and business role templates.
## Deprecation Process for Apps
If an app is outdated or its functionality is covered by a successor app, it is deprecated. This means that even though you can still use the app, SAP no longer recommends its use, and it will be deleted from the SAP Fiori launchpad in an upcoming release. There's a period of at least six months between the initial announcement of an app's deprecation and its deletion. The deprecated app may no longer be available by default on the SAP Fiori launchpad. In this case, you can find it in the app finder until it is deleted.
The deprecation of an app may require you to recheck the business catalogs that are assigned to your business roles. For more details about this and changes to restriction types, see Manage Business Role Changes After Upgrade in the Related Information section.
## Deprecation of Business Catalogs
Due to ongoing development of new features and new apps, you need to revise existing business catalogs with every system upgrade. This means that some business catalogs are deprecated and replaced by new ones, and you need to assign business roles and business users to these new business catalogs.
Rather than disappearing, deprecated business catalogs are identified as being obsolete, which allows you to identify them at a glance. For more information, see How to Handle Deprecated Business Catalogs in the Related Information section.
## Business Role Changes after Upgrades
It is important for you to know how the release changes impact your productive business roles.
Business role changes often have the technical reason that new developments may require changes to existing applications, business catalogs, restriction types, and/or restriction fields. The affected business roles need to be adapted accordingly to ensure that existing apps behave consistently before and after the upgrade.
The following typical changes might occur:
- Business catalogs were deprecated, or split, or have new dependencies so new business catalogs need to be assigned.
- New apps were added to existing business catalogs.
- New restriction types were added, removed, or access categories were changed.
For more information about change activation, see Phase-In/Phase Out Status in the Related Information section.

## 6.3.1.13.11.1  Manage Business Role Changes After Upgrade: Background
It is important for you to know how the quarterly release changes impact your productive business roles.
Business role changes often have the technical reason that new developments may require changes to existing applications, business catalogs, restriction types and/or restriction fields. The affected business roles need to be adapted accordingly to ensure that existing apps behave consistently before and after the upgrade.
The following typical changes might occur:
- Business catalogs were deprecated or split, or have new dependencies so new business catalogs need to be assigned.
- New apps were added to existing business catalogs.
- New restriction types were added, removed, or access categories were changed.
## 6.3.1.13.11.2  Best Practices for Managing Business Role Changes After an Upgrade
We recommend downloading a list of all the changes that have taken place after an upgrade before you adjust your business roles using the Manage Business Roles After an Upgrade app. You can do this by clicking Download (csv format is supported). This helps you to keep an overview of what has changed. Once you have modified your business roles, the respective changed objects disappear from the list in the app. It is therefore advisable to keep a separate worklist on your local machine.
We also recommend adjusting your business roles using the Manage Business Roles After an Upgrade app only if one change applies to one business role. If there is more than one change, we recommend making the required changes manually in the Maintain Business Roles app.
## Restriction Types / Business Catalog Dependencies
An affected business role is no longer shown in the list once the business role has been saved the first time after the upgrade/update.
The change itself will no longer be visible in the app after all listed affected business roles have been saved the first time after the upgrade/update.
## Deprecated Business Catalogs / Business Role Template
An affected business role is no longer shown in the list once the respective change has been incorporated in the business role.
The change itself will no longer be visible in the app after the respective change has been incorporated in all affected business roles.
## 6.3.1.13.11.3  How to Manage Changed Restriction Types After an Upgrade
## Context
If you want to have transparency over all of the changes to restriction types after an upgrade, and you want to maintain the corresponding restrictions in your business roles, proceed as follows:
## Procedure
1. Select the Manage Business Role Changes After Upgrade tile on the SAP Fiori Launchpad to open the app. On the initial screen, view the Restriction Types area to get an overview of what has changed with the last upgrade.

2. Download a csv file containing all recently changed restriction types if required.
3. Click on the required restriction type to check how the changed restriction types affect your business roles. The business roles affected by the changes to this restriction type are displayed in a list. By clicking on the restriction type Name above the list, you can view a description of the restriction and a list of business catalogs in which this restriction type has been changed (for example added or removed). Please note that any derived roles will be filtered out from the list of the affected business roles to allow for synchronization with the master role.
4. To find more information about the affected business roles or to make further changes, you can crossnavigate to the Maintain Business Roles app by clicking on the link listed in the Business Role ID column. When you click on the Information pushbutton next to the link, a list of all other changes that have affected the business role after the upgrade and that might be relevant for you as well is displayed.
5. To make the necessary changes in your business roles, select the required business role and click Maintain (Write, Read, Value Help) Restrictions . Restrictions can be mass-maintained for multiple business roles if the roles have the same access categories. If they have different access categories, the pushbutton is disabled. On the Maintain Restrictions screen, you can also view the related business catalogs and the business roles selected on the previous screen. You see the restriction fields of the restriction you are
- currently maintaining. To see other restrictions these business roles might include, click the glasses icon ( Display Restrictions ) to cross-navigate to the Maintain Business Roles app.
