Validating SAP Privileges

This section describes how to test some of the key SAP privileges. Proceed with the subsequent steps in this guide only after successful validation of these tests. This validation is typically performed by your SAP Basis team.

Perform the following steps to validate whether a SAP user has appropriate dev rights and owns a dev license key:

1. Start SAPGUI.
2. Use the ODI SAP user and password to connect to the SAP system and client.
3. Go to transaction SE38.
4. Enter any sample program name like ZSAP_TEST in the program name field.
5. Click Create.
6. Perform similar tests for the transaction SE37 and SE11.

If a transaction allows the creation of a program without asking for any key or other authorization message, then the SAP user has validated that it has the appropriate dev rights and license key. Otherwise your SAP basis team needs to register the SAP user in service.sap.com to get the license key and a Basis person can help him with dev rights.
