What is security policy in SAP BC-SEC-USR - User Administration?

SAP Term: security policy

• Component: BC-SEC-USR

• Component Name: User Administration

• Description: Collection of security policy attributes and their values. These attributes determine the system behaviour with regard to password rules, password changes, and logon restrictions. Security policies replace the practice of using profile parameters to do this. Once a user master record has a security policy assigned to it, this policy determines the behaviour. Profile parameter values are only relevant for user master records that no security policy has been assigned to.
