Using the Emergency Access Management Launchpad

Context

For ID-based firefighting, you can use the Emergency Access Management (EAM) Launchpad to access your assigned Firefighter IDs. The EAM Launchpad is available for both centralized and decentralized firefighting. The functionality described below is the same for both centralized and decentralized firefighting, except for the following:

For centralized firefighting, you use this transaction to open the EAM Launchpad on the GRC system: GRAC_EAM.

Note

The transaction GRAC_SPM is also available for backward compatibility.
For decentralized firefighting, you use this transaction to open the EAM Launchpad on the plug-in systems:/GRCPI/GRIA_EAM.

Note

For decentralized firefighting scenarios, to enable the firefighter to use the EAM Launchpad, you must create the Firefighter role on the relevant plug-in systems. Assign to the role the authorizations to use transactions /GRCPI/GRIA_EAM and SU53.

The EAM Launchpad screen has the following elements:

Element	Description
Firefighter ID	This is the name of the Firefighter ID you are authorized to use. You may have one or several.
System Name	This is the name of the system the Firefighter ID is authorized to access. Note This field is only displayed for centralized firefighting.
Firefighter ID Owner	This is the name of the owner of the Firefighter ID.
Status	Green indicates the Firefighter ID is available. Red indicates the Firefighter ID is in use by another Firefighter. You can notify the Firefighter by using the Message to Firefighter button.
FFID Used By	This is the Firefighter who is currently using the Firefighter ID.

Additional Activity	After you choose Logon, enter a description of the activities you plan to perform. If you need to carry out additional activities, choose the Additional Activity button to open the Reason Code screen, and enter the information in the Additional Activity field. Note Administrators can configure this field to only accept valid transaction codes.
Unlock	Use this button to log out of the firefighting session, and allow others to use the Firefighter ID.
