Settings for Reporting Management on SAP GatewayLocate this document in the navigation structure

SAP Gateway Reporting Management application is a comprehensive solution for accessing SAP NetWeaver BI (Business Intelligence) and SAP ERP reports from any device or platform.

Creating Roles

You must create roles for Reporting Management and assign these roles to the Reporting Management GSDO group. The Reporting Management users should be assigned to these roles so that they can receive report templates and can execute the reports. For this:

  1. Identify the list of SAP ERP and BI systems (for Reporting Management) on which the functionality should be accessible by SAP Gateway.

  2. Creating system alias for each of these systems.

  3. For each of these systems, define a role for which the administrator should assign the list of users (who has access to execute the functionality).

    Note

    1. You must be an SAP Gateway administrator or have an SAP user administrator to create the roles.

    2. The roles must be defined/created on the SAP Gateway server.

    3. If there is only one SAP ERP or BI system and all the users on SAP Gateway should be able to access Reporting Management functionality on this system then role creation and assigning of roles to GSDO groups is optional but this is not recommended.

To create roles, proceed as follows:

  1. Open transaction pfcg in the SAP Gateway system.

  2. Enter a name for the role in the Role field.

  3. Choose Single Role.

  4. Save the Role.

  5. Choose the Authorization tab.

  6. Choose Change Authorization.

  7. Choose the template mentioned in the Role Templates section.

  8. Choose Generate to create a new role.

For information on changing roles, see the SAP NetWeaver documentation about Changing Standard Roles.
