AW: Deleted Users with Workitems

[John Wiese]

You should "NOT" be deleting your user ids!
 
Further, you do "NOT" get around your licensing requirements by "deleting"
them!
 
1) You secure your userids by placing a date in the "Valid to" field on the
Logon
   data tab!
 
   This "effectively" secures your userid from further use/access.
 
2) Additionally, you select the "Measurement Data" button and you update the
 
   "Contractual user type" to a non-use or customer defined id . . . that
will
   again demonstrate to SAP that this particular userid is no longer being
used!
 
The above represents the correct and legal actions a company should be
taking in
regards to its' userids . . . and to remain compliant with your SAP
Licensing
agreement.

Yes, I think that's why we delete them.  We don't have to pay the license
fees.
