Authorization Concept
There is a multilevel authorization concept for the administration of a liveCache database instance. Authorizations are granted to an SAP user by assigning the user a role determined by the actions that this user should perform.
Roles
The following roles are preconfigured in the database software supplied:
The system administrator can assign a corresponding role to the SAP users that are to monitor and administer the liveCache database instance, or create new users with these roles. However, this is only possible when a profile has been assigned to a role.
Profiles for Roles
Proceed as follows to assign a profile to a role:
...
1. Call Role Maintenance (transaction PFCG).
2. Enter the name of the role and display it.
3. Choose Authorizations.
4. Switch to change mode.
5. Choose Change Authorization Data.
6. Choose Generate and confirm the profile name.
For further information, see Application Help for role maintenance in Users and Roles.
The system administrator can now assign a corresponding role to the SAP users that are to monitor and administer the liveCache database instance, or create new users with these roles.
User Menu
Each of the roles provides a user menu that contains the DBA functions that are to be regularly used by the relevant SAP user to perform the DBA actions.
