What are end user roles?

You can use end user roles to combine end users with similar functions in SAP® Solution Manager. They are defined for all projects. The role pool contains all end user roles defined by SAP. These roles can be assigned in the Business Blueprint structure and configuration transaction (project roles). This enables you to create specific end user training scenarios, for example.

They are assigned at structural elements (scenarios, processes, process steps) in the Business Blueprint structure in SAP® Solution Manager.

Possible uses

Roles have not been assigned yet

End user roles have already been defined in SAP® Solution Manager but have not yet been assigned in the Business Blueprint structure.

Download the role pool into the database to assign occurrences of end user roles to relevant Business Blueprint items. After you have synchronized the changes with your SAP® Solution Manager Project, you can continue to use the assigned end user roles, for example, to create training documents.

In ARIS, you assign end user roles to company-specific roles. The assignment is done in models of the SAP organizational elements mapping type. These models are optionally created when you download or synchronize SAP® Solution Manager projects.

Roles are already assigned

End user roles have already been defined in SAP® Solution Manager and assigned in the Business Blueprint structure.

Start SAP® synchronization to update the data in ARIS. Now you can assign the existing end user roles to other items if necessary, or delete assignments. Following SAP® synchronization using the Transfer data to SAP® Solution Manager option, your SAP® project is updated.

You can delete end user roles that are not needed during SAP® synchronization.
