Role Mapping For Portal Role Assignment and ABAP Role Assignment - GRC 10

[Former Member]

Hello All

Can any one please tell me how an SAP Enterprise role and SAP ABAP technical role can be clubbed /mapped together for role assignment via ARM?

We are not using the business role concept here .. , so I need answers to achieve this functionality using the ABAP Dummy role concept.

I know people have does this before, but i needed more clarity on this approach.

Thanks in advance,

Uma

Hi Uma,

As per my understanding whenever users request for a ABAP technical role then they should be provisioned with corresponding Portal role. Is this what you wanted to achieve?

In GRC 10/10.1 we have Role mapping functionality which can be used for your requirement.

Let me know if this is your requirement so that can share more details about role mapping.

Hi Uma,

First identify the roles that need to be mapped to your main roles and once you have that information you can just maintain the same mapped roles in Role Import file and can import them into system.

Eg: I have one role to which I mapped 3 roles from 3 different systems as shown below

Thank for getting back to me madhu, really appreciate it.

I tried to use that functionality, but i see that the role mapping tab is greyed out ( Disabled ).

Do you have any idea why? I also made sure that i enabled the parameters 2014 and 2015 to enable role mapping.

Thanks in advance!

Hi Uma,

Do you have BRM default methodology activated?

If activated are you still seeing Role Mapping as greyed out in EDIT mode?

As suggested try through role import and check as well.

Please share screenshot so that easy to assist you.

Uma,

Just a Small check i faced the same issue while adding approvers in the Approvers tab in Define Phase . If this is the new Role you are trying to create Click on Save in the Details tab after filling it and then try this Role Mapping Tab option .

Not sure if this could be the issue .

Hi Uma,

I think you have this issue because of the reason Sandeep mentioned. Just save and then check role mapping tab.

Sandeep / Madhu

You are right, when i tried to save the role and went back to the role mapping tab, everything was normal and i was about to add roles, systems there.

Much thanks for your help, once i am able to successfully complete the mapping .. i will close this issue .. will keep you posted.
