The roles for the SAP Solution Manager system (SAP_SM_DSH_CONF and SAP_SM_DSH_DISP) contain authorization objects that you can use to specify the dashboard categories and dashboards that the associated users may access. Adjust these authorization objects if users are only to be able to display or edit certain dashboard categories and dashboards.

These are the following two authorization objects:

  • SM_DSHCAT

    This object specifies the dashboard categories that the user may access. For this purpose, enter the ID of the desired category in the CATID field. The required IDs are contained in table AGS_DSH_CAT, which contains NAME and ID for all dashboard categories.

  • SM_DSHO

    This object specifies the dashboards that the user may access. For this purpose, enter the ID of the desired dashboard in the DASHID field. To determine the required ID of the dashboard, call this dashboard in display mode (see Displaying Dashboards and Tiles). The ID is displayed in the URL as a value of the URL parameter DSH_ID. The IDs are also contained in table AGS_DSH_HEADER.

Note Note

For the user to be permitted to access a specific dashboard, he or she requires authorization for the dashboard (object SM_DSHO) and for the dashboard category (object SM_DSHCAT).

End of the note.
