Lesson 2:
LOGGING IN
For this self-study, new users should log into the SAP Practice (sap-edu) environment. The
Practice environment allows you to learn and practice the skills used throughout SAP without
affecting the live Production environment.
OBJECTIVES
In this lesson you will become familiar with the basic SAP Log On procedure, as well as SAP
security terminology. At the completion of this lesson you will be able to:
✔ Log on to SAP from your desktop computer
✔ Understand SAP and MIT security terminology
✔ Understand SAP Authorizations
✔ Identify your Authorized Requester
SUMMARY OF BUSINESS RULES
✔ SAP contains confidential MIT data, therefore new users are authorized (given
access to transactions) based on their job responsibility.
✔ Kerberos user IDs and passwords should not be shared.
✔ The Authorized Requester for each department, lab and center requests SAP user
profiles for new users.
✔ The SAP Production system logs you off after two hours of inactivity. However, the
Practice system (sap-edu) does not use this time-out security feature.
