Identifying Business Roles in SAP S/4HANA PEO

Objective

After completing this lesson, you will be able to identify business roles for SAP S/4HANA PEO apps.

Business Roles Required for SAP S/4HANA PEO Application and Component

Using the SAP Fiori launchpad requires assigning roles to your SAP Fiori user in the NetWeaver Gateway system. Each SAP Fiori application needs specific business roles to operate.

SAP provides template roles, known as business PFCG roles, which link to template business catalogs and catalog groups:

  • Business PFCG Role (BCR): A business PFCG role contains references to business catalogs and business catalog groups. Once you, as an administrator, assign the business PFCG role to a user, the user sees the apps included in the business catalog group on the entry page of the SAP Fiori launchpad. Through the business catalog referenced, users have access to further relevant role- specific apps. The user can select the apps from the catalog to make them available directly on the entry page.
  • Business Catalog (BC): Business catalogs contain a sample collection of target mappings and app launcher tiles relevant for a business role. The content of the business catalog is a subset of the content of the technical catalog. This subset reflects the authorization requirements of a certain business user.
  • Business Catalog Group (BCG): Business catalog groups contain a set of applications from a business catalog that are displayed to a user by default on the entry page of the SAP Fiori launchpad. Users can adjust groups by adding or removing apps.
  • Technical PFCG Role (TCR): Technical PFCG roles contain references to technical catalogs, and they allow users to access the apps contained in these catalogs.
  • Technical Catalog (TC): Technical catalogs contain all target mappings and app launcher tiles relevant for an application, for example, SD or SAP SRM. As an administrator, you can use them as a repository to create your own role-specific business catalogs.

Summary

This lesson outlines the importance of assigning specific business roles to users in SAP S/4HANA PEO applications. Proper role assignment is essential for efficient use of the SAP Fiori launchpad and access to associated apps.

  • Business PFCG Roles: Assign roles to link users with business catalogs and catalog groups on SAP Fiori.
  • Business Catalogs and Groups: Provide sample app collections and displays them by default on the Fiori launchpad entry page.
  • Technical Roles and Catalogs: Serve as repositories to access apps relevant to specific applications.
