Configuring User Roles Using a Template

Objective

After completing this lesson, you will be able to create an implementation role using a role template.

Configuring User Roles using a Template

Prerequisites

Before you begin using the data transition validation tool, ensure the following:

  • rdisp/PG_KEEP - value = 30
  • rdisp/PG_MAXFS - value = 256000
  • rdisp/PG_SHM - value = 256000
  • abap/shared_objects_size_MB - value = 1800

You need to have SAP_ALL authorization to execute the business reports.

Authorization and Roles

You must create different user roles to use the data transition validation tool. There are two ways of creating these roles:

  • Manually, where you need to configure the required transactions and authorizations for each type of user role.
  • Template-based, where you use the role templates provided for each role.

There are templates for each role, such as the following:

  • Display User - can only view the project's content.
  • Implementation User – can maintain the test specifications and project implementations.
  • Execution User- can only perform action in the simulation, extraction, and evaluation phases.
  • Super User has a combination of execution and implementation user rights.

Configure User Roles using a Template

Before you start, ensure you have authorization to use transaction PFCG. In the next exercise, you will create a role using one of the role templates delivered by the data transition validation tool, more precisely, the implementation user.

When you have the required user roles in the tool, you can assign them to the appropriate business users.

Summary

You can now create user roles for the data transition validation tool using a role template.
