• Key Concepts: 
  A proxy is a type of user in the SAP system that allows a user to access the system without having to log in with their own credentials. It is used to execute programs and transactions on behalf of another user. It is also used to access data from external systems.
  
  How to use it: 
  To use a proxy, you must first create a user in the SAP system and assign it the appropriate authorization roles. Then, you can assign the proxy user to another user in the system. This will allow the proxy user to access the system on behalf of the other user. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a proxy user, make sure to assign it only the necessary authorization roles. This will help ensure that the proxy user does not have access to any sensitive data or functions that it should not have access to.
