The SAP Application Interface Framework provides predefined template roles that you can change or copy in order to define roles for your specific requirements.
There are two types of roles delivered with the SAP Application Interface Framework:
Single roles
Provide suggestions for the combination of different authorization objects and values in a role to fulfill a specific task
Composite roles
Provide suggestions for the combination of single roles, so that the requirements of common user role responsibilities are fulfilled
