SAP Business One Why do I have different passwords for each company?
A user just asked me this question, and many people have asked in the past.
The answer is:
- Although it may seem like you only have one login, you actually have two, one for each company. They just happen to have the same user name.
- When you setup the system(s), the user names must be entered into each company.
- The user will only be able to login to the system where they have a user name.
- You only have 1 SAP license though. The licence is assigned to the user profile.
- When a user name is added to a new company, the license settings that you entered into another company are already there.
If you think about it, there is actually two "lists", one for the user names and passwords and one for the licenses assigned to the user names. The "license list" is actually on the SAP Server and the information about who has what licenses is controlled by the license server.
Each company database has its own lists of user names and passwords and that is why they need to be entered for each new company.
