Composite role menu gets Single role names instead of descriptions

[sridhar_manchala1]

Hi All,

When re-import role menu of a Composite role through PFCG , I am getting Role menu with single roles "Name" , but we are expecting the composite role menu should have single role "Description" .

Could any one please let me know if there is any setting we have to change to get this work.

Thanks in advance

Hello,

I don't know if I'm understanding the point. In the menu tab of the composite role you should see transactions. If you want to show/hide the description of the transactions you have to click the magnifier glass.

If the text descriptions are blank it could be due to a language problem. For example, refer here: Note 1244533 - PFCG: Problems when selecting role short texts

Hi,

To get clear on your request , i guess you are checking out for the Single role's Description instead of their's name in the Composite Profile view.

As far as i know, we can check the Single Role's Description by double clicking on the Single role.(which opens a new window with pfcg screen of that particular Single role).

Hope this helps.

Hi,

Here is the scenario what i had

Single role name - Role description

z:abcdXXXX - Finance global role

z:vxyzXXXX - Tax global role

Composite role

ZC:KLMNXXXX

When I add the 2 single roles in composite role and then if I reimport the Role menu, the composite role menu gets the 2 single role menus.

Here the composite role menu is generated like below

Role

--Role z:abcdXXXX

--Role z:vxyzXXXX

(Here the role menu shows the single role technical names)

But I want composite role menu should have the single role descriptions instead of technical names like below

Role

--Finance global role

--Tax global role

Please help me to correct this

Thanks

Hi Sridhar,

Go to edit mode and you can see one button "Switch off Techncal name" , this will help you to disply Single role descriptiom

Let me know if it helps.

Hi Rupali,

That won't help me as the button "Switch off technical names" is to turn of the t-codes technical names display in role menu. I am talking about, when we generate the composite role menu, in composite role menu you will get each folder for each single role menu and all these folder combination is composite role menu. So here each single role menu folder name shows single role name instead of single role description as I am looking for role descriptions should come instead of single role names in composite role menu. Hope i have explained without confusing please help me out here.

Thanks

Hi Sridhar,

I got your point and you want Folders with single role description in Menu section of composite role.

I have tried it successfully and folders are showing role description now.

1st of all , Make tab as "Switch ON technical name" --> Read Menu

If singles roles are already existing "Merge" then verify.

Else i recommend to delete single role assigment and add it again and try above method. Its tested.

Pls check it at your end and respond.

Hi Sridhar,

This is ok in PFCG. You check the same composite role in user menu (log-in with the user have that role) and there you should see the role description.

Hi

{When re-import role menu} - have you tried not importing the menu at all? May be a little too late if you've been doing this for a while or taken over from another person.

Try creating a new composite in DEV and add a few singles and just save (no read of menu etc)

Hi,

From my analysis, the above requirement can be achieved by the below steps;

1) Create a comp role and in roles tab add the single roles

2) And come to Menu tab: De activate the technical names (+/- Magnifier Symbol) and click on Read Menu

3) This will give you the Comp Menu as the result of Single Role "Description" Menus

Hi All,

I want to build composite roles for individual geographical locations but I don't want to read the menu of composite role as their is over head involved in reading the menus in each composite role when ever a new tcode is add to any one of the single roles contained in the composite role.

I have 15 composites for 15 countries i need to read the menu for all 15 composites (either manualy or via some Z program that reads the menu).when a new tcode is added or removed

Let me know your commnets on this, if i Just add the single roles in composite roles with out reading the menu so that enduser will have the role menu of single role and no issues for further role maintanence.

Let me know what are the instances in which we need to read the menu of composite roles.

I find it a overhead  need to be sure that what ever i want to do is right.
