    Note Note

  4. Select the system and client (or the connected system alias) you want to upload the role information from. This should be your hub system.

  5. From the list displayed select the PFCG role SAP_MDGC_MENU_04 and begin the upload.

Once the MDG portal roles have been uploaded, you must assign them as follows:

  1. Log on to the portal.

  2. Choose Delegated User Administration.

  3. Enter your User ID and choose Go.

  4. Mark the line of your user and choose Modify.

  5. Select the Assigned Roles tab.
