This tutorial explains step by step procedure to maintain user parameters in SAP using tcode SU52.
How to maintain user parameters in SAP
In SAP HR, we are going to maintain the two user parameters for maintaining the consistency IMG configuration.
- Country Grouping
- User Grouping
Country grouping : – With country grouping key, you can maintain separate configuration from one country to another.
For e.g. India – 40, US – 10.
User grouping : – Grouping of similar business process with the country grouping for avoiding the duplication and handling authorization very effectively.

Note : – In real time project scenario, generally we come across one country grouping and one user grouping only. For e.g. India country grouping key 40, India user group 40 because most of companies maintain HR policies at country level.
