Use

In this Customizing activity, you define the methodology processes and steps for role maintenance. The application provides a set of actions that can be used for role maintenance, such as definition, generation, and so on. You can select which actions to use, the order, and the frequency. This is called your methodology. For example, you can define that six steps are required to maintain a role and that approval is required after each step.

Activities

Defining a methodology process consists of the following procedures:

  1. Defining a step

    SAP provides a set of actions that you can perform for role maintenance. When you define a step, you select which actions to use and assign a name that in line with your company guidelines. For example, you can select delivered action Action and Permissions, and name its phase as Maintain Authorizations per your company guidelines
  2. Defining a methodology process
    You create the methodology processes as a framework to attach the methodology steps. You can create as many methodology processes as you needed. For example, you may want to have one methodology for finance role requests, and another for office administration role requests.
  3. Adding steps to the methodology process
    You assign the steps to the methodology processes and select the order of the steps. For example, for finance role requests, you may want to require several approval steps and risk analysis.
