On the Define Criteria screen, you can specify the role type, import source, and other parameters for importing multiple roles.

Procedure

To define the criteria, do the following:

  1. In the Role Selection area, select the role type.

    Note Note

    When you select a role type, the application makes inactive fields that are not applicable for that type. For example, if you select Business Role, the application makes inactive the User Input and Role Authorization Source fields.

    End of the note.

  2. In the Import Source area, select the Role Attribute Source and the Role Authorization Source.

    Note Note

    You must have the authorization S_CTS_SADM to use the option File on Server.

    End of the note.

    Role attributes are details for the role, and may include information such as role name, process, subprocess, and so on. Depending on the role type, the role attribute source may be from the following: User Input, File on Server, or File on Desktop.

    The role authorization source is the object that provides the authorization information for the roles. Depending on the role type, the role authorization source may be from the following: Back end System, File on Server, or File on Desktop. The settings are applicable to both PFCG and non-PFCG role authorizations.

    Note Note

    For technical roles, you can choose Skip to specify that the role authorization source is not applicable.

    End of the note.

  3. In the Templates area, you can download templates for the following:

    • Role attributes file

    • Non-PFCG role authorizations file

  4. In the Definition Criteria section, you can choose the application type, landscape, and whether or not to overwrite the existing role.

    Note Note

    The application types available in the Application Type dropdown list changes depending on the role type you select.

    End of the note.

  5. In the Role Selection Criteria area, you can further refine the roles you want to import by specifying the source system, range of roles, and so on.

    You can choose to Import all roles except SAP Predefined Roles. That is, only import roles you have created or customized; do not import the standard roles provided by SAP.

    In the Methodology Status field, you can choose to only import roles of a specific status, such as Complete or Initial.
