Setting Up a Locked Group

Administrators can define a locked group of tiles for the SAP Fiori launchpad home page, which end users cannot personalize. When an administrator changes a locked group, the home page is automatically updated.

Prerequisites

You are assigned the Content Admin role.

Context

A locked group is a group of tiles, which is fully managed by the administrator and which appears at the top of the groups displayed in the home page, including the home group. You can only set up one locked group for the home page. You can assign remote content to a locked group.

If a user is assigned to multiple roles, any locked content configured for those roles appears together under the same locked group in the home page.

In contrast to predefined groups, end users cannot personalize a locked group. End users cannot perform the following actions:

  • Drag tiles to and from a locked group

  • Remove or delete a locked group

  • Remove or delete tiles from a locked group

  • Change the location of the group in the home page

  • Reorder tiles inside a locked group

  • Rename a locked group
