Assigning Roles to Groups

[Former Member]

Hi there,

i am a newbie to SAP and have some questions to Usermanagement in Web AS ABAP.

Is it, like in Web As Java, possible to assign roles to groups?

And could one user be in several groups?

Or is it possible to sssign groups to groups?

I want to assign a group to each role and then not changing the assignment of user to role but instead change the assignment of user to groups.

Thanks for your answers,

stefan

Hi Stefan,

<b>Ques:1)Is it, like in Web As Java, possible to assign roles to groups?</b>

<b>Ans:</b>You cannot assign roles to a group.

<b>Ques:2) And could one user be in several groups?</b>

<b>Ans:</b> Yes you can assign user to multiple groups.

User Management -> Group - > Assign User to a group.

<b>Ques:3)Or is it possible to sssign groups to groups?</b>

Ans: Yes, this is also possible. Just go to User Administration on portal and then Groups. There you will find a icon group to another group.

User Management -> Group - > Assign group to a group.

I think this will help to solve your problem..

Sorry!! I really misunderstood the problem. So I am editing the wrong part of my answer.

Hi Stefan,

I think Pravesh has misunderstood the question. You <u>can</u> assign roles to groups and groups to groups in WebAS Java. However you <u>cannot</u> assign roles to groups in WebAS ABAP, you can only assign roles to users.

With this I am talking about ABAP roles, not portal roles BTW. Portal roles generally use the Java usermanagement, so can be assigned to group.

Hi Paul,

you are right, Pravesh misunderstood some parts of my question.

But the conclusion of you both, that it is not possible to assign ABAP roles to Groups affirmed my thoughts.

I am not tyring to find another solution.

Thank you both,

stefan

I'm afraid you can't assign roles to groups.

User groups are used more to manage who can manage which users. e.g. The UK user administrator can only maintain users un the UK user group.
