Looking Up Affected Roles and Users
Using the Impact Analyzer, you can check which users and roles are affected by the activation of a business function. The changes in programs and transactions (a new input field, for example) affect certain users and roles only after the respective business function is activated.
Here, "roles" refers to the roles defined in transaction PFCG.
The Impact Analyzer report SFW_IMPACT_ANALYZER can be started independently, or you can access it from the Impact Analyzer menu in transaction SFW5.
