Approving Requests

To reduce the cost of system administration, every user can easily request missing roles in SAP Analytics Cloud. Another user with appropriate authorization then approves the requested role assignment.

Prerequisites

A business user has sent a request for additional roles.
A system administrator or user with permission to approve the request has received it.
Note
This approver is defined in the settings of a role and can be:
- The business users's manager who is assigned in the user management area.
- Any user with permission to change user data as defined in the role management area.

Procedure

As an Approver, do the following:

Once you are notified that a role assignment has been requested, from the main menu choose Security Requests.
Do one of the following:
- To approve a request, select the User ID and choose Approve. When you confirm the informational message that displays, the requested roles are immediately assigned to the user.
- To reject a request, select the User ID and choose Reject. In the dialog that displays, you can enter a reason explaining why you rejected the request.
