Hi colleagues, welcome to the 2nd part of the blog post for the role overview in SAP Profitability and Performance Management Cloud Standard Model (SAP PaPM Cloud SM)!

On the previous blog post Role Overview in SAP PaPM Cloud Standard Model (Part 1/2), it discusses the role authorizations in the Environment, Modeling, Process Management, Report Management, Business Event Management, Show, Analyze and Visualize screens. I hope you already have an idea how it works.

With that, you might be curious about the remaining roles related to System and Administration screens. Let me invite you to read this blog post and see how the roles work on the mentioned screens.

To give you a little review, here are the major roles together with the new granular roles for System and Administration screens:

Yellow – For System screens.
Green – For Administration screens.

For more information about these Roles, please refer to SAP Help Portal Roles Templates for SAP PaPM Cloud SM. 

On this blog post, I will be focusing on the Menu, System screens and Administration screens.

Without further ado, let’s proceed!

 

On the SAP PaPM Cloud SM, Menu button is always visible to the users that allows them to access the different System and Administration screens based on their assigned roles.

Let me provide you with a quick glimpse of it.

Based on the screenshot above, there are seven (7) options available in the Menu. Four (4) of which are the general options available for all users namely Help, User Preferences, About and Logout. While the remaining three (3) namely Home, System and Administration will be available based on the roles assigned to the users, which I will be discussing on the next sections.

Here’s the overview of the roles and its authorizations for Menu options:

An additional information, the Home option in the menu is equivalent to Environment screen.
For the Home/Environment screen role authorizations, it was discussed on the previous blogpost Role Overview in SAP PaPM Cloud Standard Model (Part 1/2).

Note:
To reiterate on how you can check the functionality of each role for the screens, inside the screenshots below, I have highlighted the buttons and indicated the roles in a tabular format for you to see the ability for each role. 
If a button (column e.g., Home) has a check mark next to a role (row e.g., ENVIRONMENTS_READ), it indicates that the role is capable of carrying out this particular action.  
If a button doesn’t have the check mark next to the role, then it means that the button is not visible, disabled or the user is not authorized (will return an unauthorized message).
