Assign Tile Catalogs to Roles Without Reading AuthorizationsLocate this document in the navigation structure

Role administrators assign tile catalogs to a user's PFCG role.

Context

A specific catalog residing on the front-end server contains applications that reside on the same server. In this case, you can locally assign catalogs to a PFCG role.

Procedure

  1. In Role Maintenance (transaction PFCG), provide the role name and choose Change.

    If no role exists, create a role by choosing Create Single Role.

    All users with this role are granted access to the catalog assigned to the role.

  2. Choose the Menu tab.
  3. Choose Insert Node and select SAP Fiori Tile Catalog.
  4. In the dialog box that appears, select one of the following catalog providers:
    1. Fiori Launchpad Catalogs
      Choose this catalog provider if you want to assign one of the catalogs you created in the launchpad designer.
    2. Fiori Catalog Pages
      Choose this catalog provider if you want to use catalogs that you created in the context of SAP Fiori launch page, the predecessor of the current release version called SAP Fiori launchpad. These catalogs can only be displayed by the home page of SAP Fiori launch page.
    3. Remote Catalogs
      Choose this catalog provider if you want to use tiles from a catalog on a remote server (in the context of SAP Fiori, a server that is not the front-end server).
      Note

      The catalog provider HANA Catalogs is deprecated. Please use the catalog provider Remote Catalogs instead.

  5. Depending on the type of catalog provider you select, proceed as follows:
    1. If you select Fiori Launchpad Catalogs, proceed as follows:
      1. Select the Local Front-End Server radio button.

      2. Enter a catalog ID.

        The catalog ID is the name that you provided when creating the catalog in the launchpad designer. You can use the value help for this.
      3. Unmark the Include Applications checkbox.

    2. If you select Fiori Catalog Pages or Remote Catalogs, enter a catalog ID.

Results

The tile catalog you assigned to the role is available in the role menu.

In the Details view of the node, you can change and display the node.

To make sure the catalogs linked to the role are visible for the end user, the Hide Menu from NWBC checkbox in the Menu Options dialog box should not be selected.

You can view the content of a Fiori Launchpad Catalog in the SAP Fiori launchpad designer by choosing Execute from the context menu of the tile catalog in the role menu.
