Authorization Templates 

Use

You can use authorization templates when you create roles with the profile generator. These templates contain authorizations for roles and user tasks that were defined for the Business Information Warehouse. Each user role includes the authorizations required for executing basic user tasks.

The available templates are proposed automatically when editing a new role. You can also refer back to the templates when you change an existing role.

In role maintenance, choose Utilities® Templates to display the available templates, copy templates delivered by SAP, change the copies and create templates for yourself. To do so, you need the authorization User Master Record Maintenance: User Groups (S_USER_GRP) with value * in the fields CLASS and ACTVT. Names of SAP templates start with S. Templates you create yourself may not start with S.

You can subsequently edit authorizations from the templates in the role maintenance.
