Change Password Policy for Specific Set of Users

Updated May 18, 2018

Hi,

i want to know how can we change the password policy for specific users?

For example, I have a password policy of 90days and I want to change this policy for 10users to be for 30days. How this can be done?

    Sameerchawnekar is right. but there are workarounds possible.

    You will need to create an ABAP program to change a table for last password change. This used to be in table USR02, but with Netweaver, this has changed.

    Contact your ABAPPER.

    Why would you need a different password expiration? If the user is used for non dialog purposes like connections and no real logon is required maybe switching to the user type System is a better option?
    With system users:
    -It is not possible to log on using SAP GUI. The user is therefore incapable of interaction through SAP GUI.
    -The password change requirement does not apply to the passwords, that is, they cannot be initial or expired.
    -Only a user administrator can change the password.
    -Multiple logons are permissible

    Changing table entries in USR02 is that last thing I would do, I'm sure your auditor wouldn't be happy with this solution too....

    Sorry Password Policy is Universal. You can have Multiple login specific to users
