How to create an RFC user with SAP authorizations

Creating an RFC user is necessary to connect your SAP system to the GTD Adapter. Set up this user in the SAP system and give them the correct authorizations for RFC connections. The steps to add a user will be specific to the SAP version you are using. If you need help setting up the RFC user, check out the SAP help center for instructions.
