Entry and Approval Roles and Permissions

Use

There are several types of Entry and Approval users with separate sets of privileges.

Strategy management administrators have the following prerequisites, tasks, and permissions:

You are running the administration application as the strategy management administrator. If Administration is unavailable to you, it means you are not running the application as the administrator.
You have access to the model in Application Server.
You can use the Entry and Approval screen to set up Entry and Approval administrators. You can add yourself and other users as an Entry and Approval administrator. This allows you to set defaults in the Entry and Approval application or the administration application.
You can use the Entry and Approval screen to define the settings for each performance management model to be accessed by Entry and Approval. You can add and remove performance management models.

Entry and Approval administrators have the following prerequisites, tasks, and permissions:

You have access to the performance management model.
You can control all management and administrative functions within the Entry and Approval application for a particular model. This includes:
- Creating and editing measure sets, entering historical data, entering target data, releasing measure sets, and loading the Application Server model.
- Specifying which users have data entry privileges for each measure set.
You can update existing definitions for a selected Application Server model by clicking Set Defaults in the Entry and Approval application. Only Entry and Approval administrators can see this link. Entry and Approval administrators cannot add or remove models or define a new Entry and Approval definition when accessing the defaults from the Entry and Approval application. These functions are limited to the strategy management administrator in the administration application.
You are added to the SSM_Entry_And_Approval role. This special role limits the users who can be assigned to workflow steps. Only the users of the SSM_Entry_And_Approval role appear for selection in the Entry and Approval Administrators section of the Entry and Approval screen. Only the members of that role appear in the Create Measures Set dialog box in the Entry and Approval application.

For information about creating the SSM_Entry_And_Approval role, see the Installation Guide for SAP Strategy Management on the SAP Help Portal.
