Authorization Templates  

Use

You can use authorization templates when you create roles with the profile generator. These templates contain authorizations for roles and user tasks that were defined for BI. Each user role includes the authorizations required for executing basic user tasks.

The available templates are proposed automatically when editing a new role. You can also refer back to the templates when you change an existing role.
