post : The user group in Logon tab is user's primary user
group. When you go to maintain or create user then the
check is made whether u have access to that user group in
S_USER_GRP or not. For you also when someone change or
maintains youe umr then for that user your user grp is
checked. Logon tab contains that user group. Also this
enables you to assign the user group you have here to other
users.


The users who do not have any user grp assigned to them can
be maintained by all administrators.

In groups tab we can maintain more tha one user group for a
user. Those are called secondary user groups.

Answer / shad

further to above replies,
As per my understanding Authorization user group is added in
Logon data tab whereas general user group is added in Groups
tab. User can have only one authorization user group whereas
user can have multiple general user group.

With authorization user group you can segregate user
maintenance. for ex: In a large organization, you may
distribute users into different groups and each group can
further be managed by an Administrator

Answer / sanketshingote

User Group under Logon data - It is used for Authorization check. Auth. Object S_USER_GRP(ACTVT, CLASS) will be checked. This is helpful to restrict admins to particular group. They cannot access the information from other group.

Groups Tab - This is a general purpose group. This is not used for Authorization check at all. Anything maintained or not maintained here doesn't make any difference. This was helpful when SUIM T-code was used for searching users with Users with complex selection criteria to get details of user assigned to particular group. This not not used much.

Example for User Group under Logon Data Tab:
Assume you have a Basis team and want to just access the users for this team, you will just create a group(ex.: Basis) for all these users and restrict the admin to just have access to the group(ex. Basis) with these users. The admin will then have access to only users under this group and cannot access other users at all.
