Hi ya Where do you have the need? Is the setup that you have one user account created in SAP and then different pepol loggin into this account from different terminals? I'm not sure that you can do that, unless you are able to see what terminal insted of user made the change. But I have seen places in SAP where the terminal is logged so....... So fare as I know you are not ment to have different users log into the same account. You are paying pr user, so SAP would't like it if we just created f.x sales account and then have 20 different sales pepol log into that.

It is also a Security risk to have one login ID because tracking what each person did becomes an issue as you can see.

I suspect this may not be in accordance with your licensing agreement, as SAP typically licenses by named users.

Without extensive custom ABAP code to trap the logon terminal the system will not be able to differentiate between users sharing an ID.

The extent of the customizing that would need to occur (rewriting most SAP code) makes this unfeasible.
