Adding Entry and Approval Users to an Entry and Approval Role

Use

You add Entry and Approval users to an SSM_Entry_And_Approval role to allow the users to appear in the user selection lists in the Entry and Approval application. If you do not create this special role, then the user lists show all strategy management users that exist in the strategy group in UME.

For information about the strategy group, see Creating a Strategy Group for Users and System Groups

Prerequisites

You are the administrator of SAP NetWeaver.

Procedure

Start SAP NetWeaver.
Log on as administrator with the global password you provided when you installed NetWeaver.
Click Configuration Security Identity Management.
From the Search Criteria dropdown, select Role.
Click Create Role.
Make sure the General Information tab is selected. In the Unique Name text box, enter SSM_Entry_And_Approval. This name is case sensitive and must be entered in this exact form.

Note
The EntryandApprovalRole Java System Property allows you to customize the name of the SSM_Entry_And_Approval role. By default, the value for EntryandApprovalRole is SSM_Entry_And_Approval. If you are using the default value, enter SSM_Entry_And_Approval as specified here.

If you changed the value of the EntryandApprovalRole Java System Property, then enter the new value for EntryandApprovalRole in the Unique Name text box instead of SSM_Entry_And_Approval. For information about modifying the EntryandApprovalRole value so you can create a role with a custom name, see Configuring the Application Properties.
In the Description text box, enter a description for the role.

The name is added to the Roles lists in the application. By default, a new role has no users assigned to it, no available tabs, and no permissions.
Add permissions and tabs to this role. For information, see Actions for Roles.
Save your changes.
