Creating an Administrator Role for Workflow
To perform Workflow configuration steps, you must have an Administrator Role.
You create a role for an administrator user with permissions and privileges for several tasks including the following:
Analyze logs and identify potential issues with the ERP landscape.
Configure and maintain Workflow-specific ERP components and applications.
