• Key Concepts: 
  A virtual guest user is a type of user in SAP that is used to access the system without having to log in with a username and password. This type of user is typically used for testing purposes or for accessing the system from an external source. It is also known as a "dummy" user. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use a virtual guest user, you must first create one in the SAP system. This can be done by going to the User Management section of the Security component and selecting the option to create a new user. Once the user has been created, you can then assign it to the appropriate roles and authorizations. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a virtual guest user, it is important to make sure that you assign it to the correct roles and authorizations. This will ensure that the user has access to only the necessary functions and data within the system. Additionally, it is important to remember that this type of user should only be used for testing purposes or for accessing the system from an external source.
