Adjust Roles and Profiles 

 

Before you assign SAP standard roles and profiles to users, copy and specify them.

 

SAP delivers roles and profiles with default values. If they are missing, you must set the values in the authorization objects yourself. Proceed as follows:

...

       1.      Copy the roles/profiles into your namespace.

                            a.      Choose Role Maintenance (transaction PFCG).

                            b.      Enter a role name and choose Copy Role.

                            c.      Entert the name of the new role in the To Role field.

                            d.      Choose Copy All.

                            e.      Save.

       2.      Complete missing values in the authorization objects.

                            a.      Choose the Authorizations tab.

                            b.      Choose Change Authorization Data.

                            c.      Enter your own values for the authorization objects, or double-click on the yellow traffic light.

The authorization objects appear with a green traffic light.

                            d.       

When you double-click on the yellow traffic light, the value “*” appears. This grants full authorization for this field of the authorization object.

 

                            e.      Save.

                              f.      Generate the authorization profile.

       3.      Assign the role to users.

                            a.      Choose the Users tab.

                            b.      Enter the user names.

                            c.      Choose User Adjustment.

                            d.      Save.

You can also assign the roles to the users, in the user maintenance (transaction SU01).
