Starting and Exiting from the Applications

Use

If you are a user defined in a role that is known to the strategy management system, you can start the applications.

Users have access to different applications and tabs and have different permissions within the applications based on the roles to which they belong. Each role's view of the application depends on the permissions allocated to the role.

For information about roles, see Roles in the Applications.

Prerequisites

• You are a user defined in a role that is known to the strategy management system.

• To start the strategy management application, you are assigned to a role with access to at least one tab.

• To start the administration application, you are a user defined in a role that has at least one administrative permission.

• To perform all administrative tasks in the administration application, or to perform system administration tasks, you are the strategy management administrator.

• To start the Entry and Approval application, you are a user or a strategy management administrator assigned to the SSM_Entry_And_Approval role.

  If you are an Entry and Approval user, you are assigned to a measure set for either data entry or approval.

  If you are an Entry and Approval administrator, you have access to a model with an established Entry and Approval model definition and have Entry and Approval administrator status specified in the Entry and Approval screen.

• To start the applications directly and bypass the Launch page, the system administrator has set a value for the PwDatabase Java System Property. For information about the PwDatabase Java System Property, see the Installation Guide for SAP Strategy Management on the SAP Help Portal at https://help.sap.com/viewer/p/SAP_STRATEGY_MANAGEMENT.
