      Hi,


      First you must have a support contract active.


      Usually your enterprise must have the information about ID S-User authorization. If it’s not your situation contact your SAP vendor.


      So, how to get SAP S User ID?

      1. Option one is to let your system administrator to do it for you. Thus, you need to know who your company’s super administrator is. Then, you can simply contact him or her to request them to create an S User ID for you.
      2. Option two can be handy if you have no idea who is SAP administrator in your company. In this case you can register for an SAP S user ID by clicking the registration link in the upper right hand of SAP Service Marketplace home page or by following this link: http://service.sap.com/request-user. Please note that customer or installation number are required for those who want to register as customer and a partner number is required for those who want to register as an SAP partner.

      Note: Your email must be registered to your customer number. If not your SAP user ID cannot be created.


      If you do not know customer or installation numbers that are required for option two, they can be requested through SAP Customer Interaction Center. In this article SAP explain how to get SAP S User ID and provide some relevant information. If something is not clear or you would like to know more, let know to SAP in the comments section!

      Hi,


      You can be the system administrator and the user or the acquisition department of your company (paid for the license) can take this responsibility and act as system administrator. Usually it’s the best way. Because if you leave. The company is able to keep the knowledge about licensing procedure, etc.

      .
