Creating New Users

 

 Creating New Users 

You create new users with the page create.htm . A check performed at page initialization ensures that this page can only be called by an administrator.

The authorization check performed at function call already ensures that no unauthorized user can create a new Internet User, but it makes sense that unauthorized users should not even be able to display the Create page.

You enter the required user data for a new user on this page.

The figure below displays the screen on which you create a new Internet user:

In OnInputProcessing of the page, the function module SUSR_USER_INTERNET_CREATE is called. This function module creates the new user. The INT_USER serves as a reference user here. The new Internet user has the same authorizations as the reference user. The user name queried is used as a alias, the function module generates a SU01 user name.

You can of course use multiple reference users for different purposes. This enables you to create scenarios where selected Internet users have authorization to create other Internet users.

It is also conceivable that you would have applications where new users may create their own users and register themselves. In this case, the guest user, used to display the public pages, would have to have authorization to create Internet users.
