The User Roles substructure is made up of user roles that have been defined by SAP. The project team can use this substructure to determine the user profiles they require for their specific project. It is possible to define, copy and rename user roles. You can also display the functions assigned by SAP to user roles for each structure item.

Assigning user roles to structure items You can only assign user roles to structure items to which transactions have already been assigned. All structure items on level of the Business Processes substructure fulfil this criteria.

There are two ways to assign user roles to structure items:

• Set in scope the user roles that you want to assign to structure items. When you set user roles in scope, they are automatically assigned to the corresponding structure items in other substructures. You can view a list of the user roles assigned to each structure item under Assigned user roles on the Business Analysis tab.
• You can directly assign user roles to structure items on the Business Analysis tab: To do this:

• Select a structure item with assigned transactions.
• Select Assigned user roles on the Business Analysis tab.
• A table of assigned user roles appears in the lower right screen area. If no user roles are assigned, only the title row appears. To open the context menu right click on the title row or the table.
• Select Assign user roles to node.

• This opens a list containing all the user roles in scope that have not been assigned by SAP to this structure item. User roles in scope that you have created yourself are also listed here.
• Choose All user roles on the right edge of the screen to view and select all user roles that have been assigned to the structure item by SAP, but that you have not yet set in scope. User roles that are already set in scope appear in bold.
• Use the checkboxes to select the user roles you want to assign and choose OK. If you want to assign user roles that are not in scope, select OK on the dialog box that appears. The user role is assigned to the structure item and set in scope in the User Roles substructure.

• Select a structure item with assigned transactions.
• Select Assigned user roles on the Business Analysis tab. A table of assigned user roles appears.
• Select the user role you want to remove.
• Choose Remove assignment in the context menu (right mouse click).
