Roles and Authorizations

SAP Profitability and Performance Management is targeted toward the business user. It is designed to enable the business department (for example, accounting, controlling and risk) to operate modeling, execution and analysis of data with minimal IT involvement. The solution is delivered with preconfigured user roles and provides each of them with a specialized working environment optimized to support them in their main area of responsibility.

The solution comes with the following predefined roles:
  1. Administration Role /NXI/P1_ADMIN_USER_ALL
    Users assigned to this role can run the following transactions:
    • Default Settings
    • Teams
  2. Modeling Role /NXI/P1_MODELING_USER_ALL
    Users assigned to this role can run the following transactions:
    • Modeling Overview
    • My Environments
  3. Execution Role /NXI/P1_EXECUTION_USER_ALL
    Users assigned to this role can run the following transactions:
    • Execution Overview
    • My Activities
    • My Events
    • My Reports
  4. Execution Management Role /NXI/P1_EXECUTION_MANAGER or /NXI/P1_EXECUTION_MANAGER_ALL

    Users assigned to this role can run the transaction Processes.

  5. Management Role /NXI/P1_SYSTEM_USER_ALL
    Users assigned to this role can run the following transactions:
    • Application Monitor
    • Process Monitor
    • Modeling History

      By default, this role provides only display rights. To retrieve historic versions, the authorizations “Overwrite” and “Copy” are required. For more information, see below.

Granular Authorizations

In addition, you can maintain granular authorizations with the authorization object /NXI/P1F using the following fields:
  1. /NXI/P1ENV

    This attribute defines the environment for which the authorization is maintained.

  2. /NXI/P1VER

    This attribute defines the environment version for which the authorization is maintained.

  3. /NXI/P1PCU

    This attribute defines the calculation unit for which the authorization is maintained.

  4. /NXI/P1FTY

    This attribute defines the function type for which the authorization is maintained.

  5. /NXI/P1FID

    This attribute defines the function ID for which the authorization is maintained.

  6. /NXI/P1ACT
    This attribute defines for which action the authorization is maintained. The following values are allowed:
    • “Create”
    • “Display”
    • “Delete”
    • “Activate”
    • “Execute”
    • “Transport”
    • “Edit”
    • “Merge”
    • “Analysis”
