Security Aspects for the Launch PageLocate this document in the navigation structure

This topic describes special security aspects for the launch page (the first version of the home page for SAP Fiori).

In dynamic app laucher tiles, the OData service that pulls data from the back-end system is only executed on the home page for users. On the catalog administration page, sample data are displayed instead. This makes sure that administrators who maintain catalogs and tiles cannot see dynamic content which should only be visible for specific user groups.

Protecting Access to Catalog Administration

The administration page is available at the following URL:

https://<server>:<port>/sap/bc/ui5_ui5/ui2/launchpage/admin/admin.html

Make sure that this page can be accessed by administrators only. This can be done in the same way as protecting access to the standard page administration UI of the UI add-on for SAP NetWeaver.

Providing Access to Users

You can provide users access to the launch page in a standalone browser, in SAP NetWeaver Business Client and in SAP Enterprise Portal.

For more information, see the SAP Library for User Interface Add-On for SAP NetWeaver on SAP Help Portal at http://help.sap.com/nw-uiaddon and search for Providing Users Access to the Launch Page.

By default, the launch page is empty for all users. In order to display tiles on the launch page, you must assign tile catalogs to roles in Role Maintenance (transaction PFCG).

For more information, see the SAP Library for User Interface Add-On for SAP NetWeaver on SAP Help Portal at http://help.sap.com/nw-uiaddon and search for Authorizations for Tiles on the Launch Page.

Remember If you create dynamic app launcher tiles, remember to grant users authorizations for executing the OData service that you specify in the tile details.
