Front-End Server: Activate SAP UI5 Application

SAP UI5 Application

Technical Name

Generic Drill-Down Application

/default_host/sap/bc/ui5_ui5/ui2/ushell

For more information about how to activate the SAP UI5 application (ICF service), see Front-End Server: Activate ICF Services of SAP UI5 Application.

Front-End Server: Enable App for Access in SAP Fiori Launchpad

The SAP Fiori launchpad is the entry point to SAP Fiori apps. From a user perspective, it displays those SAP Fiori apps that have been assigned to the catalog designed for this user's role.

This presupposes that an administrator has made the necessary assignments in the launchpad designer to enable a user's access to the respective SAP Fiori apps in the SAP Fiori launchpad. For more information, see Setup of Catalogs, Groups, and Roles in the SAP Fiori Launchpad.

SAP delivers technical catalogs for groups of SAP Fiori apps as repositories to create your own catalogs in the launchpad designer. Along with these catalogs, more technical content is delivered for each SAP Fiori app. You can find the delivered technical content for each SAP Fiori app in the SAP Fiori apps reference library.

Front-End Server and Back-End Server: Assign OData Service Authorizations to Users

To grant specific users access to OData services, you have to assign roles (including OData service authorization for the app) to your users. You have to make the assignment on the back-end server and on the front-end server:

  • On the back-end server, a dedicated authorization role (PFCG role) for the OData service is delivered as an example. You can adjust this role according to your needs.

  • On the front-end server, you can assign the OData service authorization to a new or existing role, such as a business role that has been adjusted according to your needs.

You must assign OData service authorizations for the KPI to your users.

Caution Caution

Several authorization default values are connected to the OData service. To ensure that all these default values are assigned to a user, you have to follow the instructions given under the documentation links provided.

End of the caution.

Make the assignment on the back-end server and on the front-end server:

OData Service (Version Number)

Back-end Server: Delivered Authorization Role (PFCG Role)

Front-End Server: Authorization Role
