In SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition, the SAP Communication User is specifically designed for API access, system integration, and scenarios requiring automated data exchange. This user type is utilized for machine-to-machine communication, such as integrating SAP systems with external applications or services via APIs, ensuring seamless and secure data flows without human intervention. Unlike SAP Administrative Users, who focus on system management tasks, or SAP Support Users, who are used for troubleshooting and support activities, the Communication User is optimized for programmatic access. The SAP Technical User, while sometimes used in on-premise systems, is not the standard term in SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition for this purpose. The Communication User’s role ensures that automated processes, such as data synchronization or third-party integrations, are executed efficiently while maintaining strict security controls and auditability.
