The following table provides information about the user types and the corresponding portal roles involved in the archiving process according to the SAP default implementation:

User Type

Portal Role

Description

System Administrator

System Admin or Super Admin

System administrators are responsible for configuring the KMC archiving landscape and for triggering the archiving of the objects marked for archiving by content administrators.

Content Administrator

Content Admin or Super Admin

Content administrators are responsible for defining the KMC data relevant for archiving. In the case of an archiving scenario with decentralized governance, they manage the archiving approval workflow.

KMC Archiving Object Owner

Standard User

Archiving object owners can forbid the archiving of their objects. In an archiving scenario with decentralized governance, they need to approve or reject the archiving of their objects.

If your archiving scenario requires it, you can modify the SAP default implementation as follows:

  • You can configure the portal roles for which the Archiving UI command is visible. In the default implementation, the Archiving UI command is visible for users with Content Admin and Super Admin portal roles. The Archiving UI command determines who can define the data relevant for archiving and who can manage the archiving approval process.

  • You can change the default object owner for the KM resource archiving object.
