Documentation
Definition
A reference user is a general user not assigned to one person. The assignment of a reference user is used to assign additional authorization. Reference users are used to equip large numbers of similar users (such as Internet users) with identical authorizations.
The assignment applies to all systems in a CUA landscape. If the assigned reference user does not exist in one of the CUA child systems, the assignment is ignored in this system.
To enter a reference user, you require the same authorizations as you must have to enter roles and profiles for the reference user manually.
You can set the Customizing switch REF_USER_CHECK in the table PRGN_CUST to set which message is to be displayed if a user is entered as a reference user but does not have the user type "reference":
'W' (default) Warning
'E' Error message
'S' Simple message
'I' No message
