Create a custom SAP named user type

Create a custom SAP named user type so that you can track and manage your SAP licenses based on the named user type that is specific to your SAP system.

Before you begin

Role required: sam_admin

Important: You can create custom SAP named user types in both the Software Asset Management classic application and the Software Asset Workspace. Use the following steps to create custom named SAP user types in the Software Asset Management classic application. For details on how to create custom named user types in the Software Asset Workspace, see Create a custom named user type in workspace.
