4 Roles
Roles describe the activities that internal employees or external business partners can perform in a
business scenario. After logging on to the system, users see all functions that they need to process their
tasks.
Roles are defined using transaction code PFCG. For more information, see Customizing for SAP Supplier
Relationship Management (SAP SRM) under SRM Server Cross-Application Basic Settings Roles
Define Roles .
You can find a complete list of all roles available for SAP SRM in SAP Note 1261825.
Implementation Considerations
You can access SAP SRM applications using either SAP NetWeaver Portal or the Portal-independent
navigation frame.
If you choose to use SAP NetWeaver Portal, the roles that are delivered as part of the Business Package
for SAP SRM are used to define the content that is visible for each role. In this case, the PFCG roles
described here are used as authorization roles only. For each Portal role, there is a corresponding PFCG
role. For more information about the Portal roles, see Business Package for SAP Supplier Relationship
Management.
If you choose to use the Portal-independent navigation frame, the PFCG roles are used to define the
content of the navigation frame, for example, the menu structure, service links, and Web Dynpro
applications. For more information, see Portal-Independent Navigation Frame.
Integration
The Portal-independent navigation frame is based on SAP NetWeaver Business Client (HTML).
For more information about how to define the menu structure for SAP NetWeaver Business Client, see
