Assigning Authorization Roles

The assignment of roles to users is copied with the user data to the relevant SAP systems (see System Landscape ). The user data contains a list of portal roles and SAP user names.

The assignments copied from the portal must be converted on the SAP system side, that is, the authorization roles derived from the portal roles must also be assigned to the relevant users in the SAP system.

The following sections explain how to assign the authorization roles to the right users:
