Role administrators assign tile catalogs to a user's
PFCG role.
Context
A specific catalog residing on the front-end server contains applications that reside on the
same server. In this case, you can locally assign catalogs to a PFCG role.
Procedure
- In Role Maintenance (transaction
PFCG), provide the role name and
choose Change.
If no role exists, create a role by choosing Create Single
Role.
All users with this role are granted access to the catalog assigned to the
role.
- Choose the Menu tab.
- Choose and select SAP Fiori Tile Catalog.
- In the dialog box that appears, select one of the following catalog
providers:
- Fiori Launchpad Catalogs
Choose this catalog provider if you want to assign one of the catalogs
you created in the launchpad designer.
- Fiori Catalog Pages
Choose this catalog provider if you want to use catalogs that you created in the context
of SAP Fiori launchpad, the predecessor of the current release version
called SAP Fiori launchpad. These catalogs can only be displayed by the
home page of SAP Fiori launchpad.
- Remote Catalogs
Choose this catalog provider if you want to use tiles from a catalog on a remote server
(in the context of SAP Fiori, a server that is not the front-end server).
Note
The catalog provider HANA Catalogs is
deprecated. Please use the catalog provider Remote
Catalogs instead.
- Depending on the type of catalog provider you select, proceed as follows:
- If you select Fiori Launchpad Catalogs, proceed
as follows:
-
Select the Local Front-End Server
radio button.
Enter a catalog ID.
The catalog ID is the name that
you provided when creating the catalog in the launchpad
designer. You can use the value help for this.
-
Unmark the Include Applications checkbox.
- If you select Fiori Catalog Pages or Remote
Catalogs, enter a catalog ID.
Results
The tile catalog you assigned to the role is available in the role menu.

Details view of the node, you can change and display the
node.
To make sure the catalogs linked to the role are visible for the end
user, the Hide Menu from NWBC checkbox in the Menu
Options dialog box should not be selected.
You can view the
content of a
