Once a user profile has been created (normal profile or test profile) in the system, it cannot be deleted, even if it has never been used. User accounts no longer needed, can be deactivated by either entering a termination date (Professional configuration) or setting the profile to Inactive (Standard/Best Practice configuration). Deactivated profiles can be reactivated, if need be.
A good best practice when deactivating user profiles is to update the Login ID by typing OLD at the beginning. For example, OLDwilliam.never@sap.com. This allows the original Login ID to be used again for future employees who might have the same first and last name of an employee who is no longer at the company.
To Deactivate a User Profile on Professional Edition:
- Log intoSAP Concurand go toAdministration>Company>CompanyAdministration.
- ClickUser Administrationon the left.
- Search for the user whose profile will be deactivated.
- Click the name in the search results.
- UnderGeneral Settings, enter the termination date in theAccount Termination Datefield.
- ClickSave.
To Deactivate a User Profile on Standard/Best Practice Edition:
- Go toAdministration>Expense Settings.
- Under theAccess To Concursection in theUser Accountstile, click Edit.
- Enter the employee's last name in the search field, then click the Search (magnifying glass) icon.
- Click the employee's last name in the search results list.
- When the profile details open, uncheck theActive复选框。
- ClickSave.
If these options are not available, you may alternatively follow these steps:
- Go toAdministration>旅行设置>Manage Users.
- Search for the user's name.
- ClickEditby user's name.
- Enter the termination date in theAccount Termination Datefield.
- ClickSave.
Note:
- Once an account termination date has been entered:
- Users are locked out of the system from this day forward.
- To immediately lock out a user, use yesterday's date.
- Prior to deactivating a user account, it is advisable to ensure their profile has been cleared of all expense reports and credit card transactions.
