Describing Basic Roles for SAP Fiori

Objective

After completing this lesson, you will be able to describe Basic Roles for SAP Fiori.

Predefined Roles

SAP ships foundation role templates for users and administrators of the SAP Fiori launchpad (FLP).

Watch the video to understand predefined roles.

Additional Role Templates

Diagram lists SAP roles. Enterprise Search: one composite role, six single roles. Catalog Management: three single roles. Trusted Remote Function Call: one single role.

Being authorized to use the FLP does not mean that any app can be started or data can be searched. To do that, additional roles and authorizations are in place. The topic authorizations must be taken seriously. SAP recommends approaching authorization specialists or to educate oneself specifically in the SAP S/4HANA authorization concept.
