 Standard
CorporateConfiguration
BackgroundPrerequisites
• Network Architecture: You have to decide in which network zones the components of the SAP Fiori system
landscape reside.

• Certificates for Single Sign-On: For single sign-on (SSO) using logon tickets, you require an SSL server
certificate for each of the components between which you want to use SSO. Components can be, depending
on your system landscape: SAP Web Dispatcher/SAP Gateway on front-end server/ABAP back-end server.

• Browser Prerequisites: SAP Fiori apps require a web browser that can display files in HTML5 format.

• Database Requirements: Consider which databases you can use with the ABAP front-end server and the ABAP
back-end server. The requirements depend on the SAP Fiori product.

• Requirements for Back-End Components: Each SAP Fiori app requires product-specific front-end components
and product-specific back-end components, which are delivered in separate products.

• Roles and Authorizations: You have to decide how to set up the roles and authorizations for the SAP Fiori
users. This includes, for example, which user group uses which apps.

• Operating System Access for SAP HANA Database: Required if you use SAP Fiori apps that use an SAP HANA
database.

 Roles and Authorizations
Corporate Background
 Configuring Roles with Launchpad Start Authorizations: Users need authorization for roles
to run the SAP Fiori launchpad (as an end user) and the SAP Fiori launchpad designer (as an
administrator). When users have these roles, they can access the catalogs and groups
assigned to the roles by a role administrator. As a role administrator, you assign the
necessary authorization roles and adjust them according to your needs.

 When you configure authorization roles, it is important that you perform the steps in the
following order:
 First activate the services in SAP Gateway.
 Call each service once.
 Configure roles correctly in Role Maintenance.

 Roles for Launchpad: Copy them to your customer namespace

 SAP_UI2_ADMIN_700
 SAP_UI2_ADMIN_702
 SAP_UI2_ADMIN_731
 SAP_UI2_ADMIN_750
 SAP_UI2_USER_700

this role the user can run the SAP Fiori launchpad on the Personalization level and
has authorization to execute the following OData services:
 /UI2/PAGE_BUILDER_PERS
 /UI2/INTEROP
 /UI2/LAUNCHPAD
• Configuring Roles for Tile Catalogs:
 To assign a tile Catalog to the user’s role in Role
Maintenance (transaction PFCG), you add a node of type SAP Fiori Tile
Catalog to one of the user's roles.
