Use

Content usage mode: remote role assignment

Applies to: producers, consumers

Note

If your portal is running SAP NetWeaver Composition Environment with usage type EP Core - Application Portal (EPC) or the remote portal is running SAP NetWeaver 7.3, ignore this topic and read Workflow: Remote Role Assignment instead.

This topic describes the activities that must be performed by administrators on a producer and consumer portal to enable remote role assignment from a consumer portal.

For detailed information about this content usage mode, see 'Remote Role Assignment' Mode .

Prerequisites

You have completed the post-installation and basic configuration steps on each portal. The portals must be fully operational.
You have fulfilled the minimal prerequisites for implementing FPN in your landscape. For more information, see Prerequisites .
The user bases of the portals adhere to the requirements described in User Persistence .

Process

The following table lists the sequence of activities performed by administrators on the producer and consumer portals.

Some activities need to be performed by the producer before the consumer can proceed and vice versa. Steps marked with the same number in both columns indicate that the steps can be performed by the producer and the consumer in any order or in parallel.

Caution
