Automatic Role Assignment in the Background
On the initial screen of transaction WP3R, you can automate role assignment for the Assign Authorization Roles function by selecting the option Assign Automatically and Update Immediately .
If this option is selected, the transaction assigns and saves the role without any further interaction.
Automatic assignment only works if there is only one authorization role per portal role. See also Assigning Roles .
Messages are output in a list and not in the message window.
This function should be used to schedule regular updates of the role assignments in the background. You must redistribute the role-user assignments of the portal in the SAP System if needed so that the information about the current role-user assignments in the portal is available in the WP3R.
If you are using central user administration with global role assignment, the background job should first execute report WP3ROLELIST_GET_CLIENT_ROLES to read the current role data of the client systems and only then execute report WP3ROLELIST.
Executing report WP3ROLELIST_GET_CLIENT_ROLES corresponds to the function Read roles from client systems .
