SAPforms: requirered user ids

[Dart, Jocelyn]

Hi Martijn,
I absolutely agree with Phil.  If you use a generic user id you still have to
have an appropriate license for the actual number of people who are accessing
the SAP system through it otherwise you are likely to in breach of contract.
However I would strongly recommend you check if you have a mySAP.com license and
who is covered under that.
 
If possible its always better to use real user ids - even if you hide the actual
logon from users - for security and audit trail purposes.

Subject: SAPforms: requirered user ids
 
 
Dear all,
 
I am considering a scenario where employees can start a workflow via a form
in Outlook . Practically anyone can fill the form, most of them normally do
not have to work with SAP and do not have an user id.
I think in this case it makes sense to use a generic user id in SAP that
'submits' the form and let the actual submitter enter an e-mail address in
the form to be able to notify him/her of the workflow progress.
 
Does anyone know if this is allowed from a SAP-license point-of-view?
Will this scenario work or are there other settings required that require a
unique user id?
 
Any help would be appreciated.
 
 
Regards,
 
Martijn Wever
