What is SAP user license?

SAP user licensing is a process that determines the number of users required by an organization to use SAP applications and which modules those users can access. SAP user licenses are usually purchased separately and come in different types. SAP licensing offers different license types for different user types and roles. Some SAP user license types include:

Professional User: Users who utilize all the functions required to execute business processes in SAP application. These types of users can perform various operations, generate reports, and enter data for other users.

Limited Professional User: These users only use certain functions in SAP application. For example, they may work only on purchasing transactions or creating invoice transactions.

Employee User: These users enter data and view reports in SAP application, but cannot use all the functions required to execute business processes.

Self-Service User: These users access the SAP application to view and update specific information they need. For example, an employee may view their pay stub or update their personal information.

Mobile User: These users access the SAP application through mobile devices. Mobile users can perform certain functions, generate reports, and enter data, but typically do not have the same level of access as professional users.
