You can use a business role to control the navigation bar, logical links, and user authorizations.

Relationships of Business Roles

A business role depends on the following:

  • The relationship to the navigation bar profile in which you define all links that are available on the different work center pages, on the home page, on report pages, and in direct link groups. To define the links, use the IMG activity Define Navigation Bar Profile.
In the IMG activity Define Business Role, you can change or hide links and work centers that are defined in the navigation bar profile that is assigned to a business role.
  • The relationship to the organizational unit in the organizational model. To assign organizational units to users, use the IMG activity Define Organizational Assignment. The organizational model is also used to assign business roles to users. Via the same organizational unit, user and business role are directly related.
  • The relationship to the authorization role via the PFCG role that is defined in the IMG activity Define Authorization Role.

Assignment of Users to Business Roles

You can assign a user to a business role by using one of the following options:

  • Assign user and business role to the same organizational unit. This is the recommended approach.
  • Assign a user to the authorization role, which is assigned to the business role, as used in Partner Channel Management.

Working with Business Roles

The following two approaches to working with business roles are described below:

  • Use existing business roles
  • Copy existing business roles

Use Existing Business Roles

We recommend that you use this approach if you want to use an SAP standard role without making any changes in the navigation bar profile. In this case, proceed as follows:

  1. Select the business role you want to use. For more information about the business roles in the SAP standard system, see Define Business Role.
  2. Define authorizations for the selected business role in the IMG activity Define Authorization Role. For more information about how you define authorization roles, see Use Existing Roles in the Activities section.

Copy Existing Business Roles

We recommend that you use this approach if you want to change the navigation bar profile of your business role. In this case, first copy the business role and the related authorization role. Proceed as follows:Copy one of the SAP standard authorization roles in the IMG activity Define Authorization Role.

  1. Carry out the following steps in the IMG activity Define Business Role:
    1. Copy the business role to your own namespace.
    2. Assign the copied authorization role to the new business role, and copy all dependencies when you are asked by the system.
    3. Display or hide work centers and link groups of the navigation bar profile that is assigned to the copied role.
  2. Define authorizations for the new business role in the IMG activity Define Authorization Role.
