Activating Plug-Ins on the ABAP Platform

On the ABAP platform, plug-ins can be activated via user-role assignment. This allows you to activate specific plug-ins only for specific user groups.

1. In the launchpad designer, in a catalog, create a target mapping with the intent Shell-plugin and the following configuration:

   Table 1:

   Field	Value
   Semantic Object	Shell
   Action	plugin
   Application Type	SAP UI5 Fiori App
   Title	Enter a meaningful title for your plug-in.
   URL	Enter the the root path to the location where the Component.js file is located, without the file name itself.
   Component	Enter the name of the component which is used for loading and instantiation. This is the name of the component's module without .Component. For more details on this, see Components.
   Information	Optional: Enter a description of your plug-in.
   Device Types	All device types must be selected.
   Parameters	Define parameters that you want to pass to the plug-in component by entering a name and a default value for each parameter.

   Note

   As target mappings with the intent Shell-plugin have a special meaning, they do not appear in standard services such as the TargetMappings feed, resolveLink, or getLinksForSemanticObjects. These target mappings are only visible in the SAP Fiori launchpad designer.

2. In Role Assignment (transaction PFCG), assign the catalog to a role.
3. If you have not already done this, assign the role to the respective users.
