I have a fiori launchpad with some apps. And I want to achieve that different users see different apps on my launchpad. So, I created some catalogs and roles. But I don't know how I can add users. I have a second account and this account should see my launchpad with apps that belong to its role. How can I do this?
Or alternatively I don't need other accounts? I'm a bit confused. Could someone explain me how the user assignment works?
Please see this link about configuring roles: Users need authorization 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.
Please read here about assigning users to roles. A role administrator makes tile catalogs and tile groups available to users by assigning them to an authorization role. As a role administrator you assign users of the SAP Fiori launchpad (end-users) and launchpad designer (administrators) to authorization roles in User Maintenance (transaction SU01) or in Role Maintenance (transaction PFCG).
When you say 'categories', I assume they are 'Catalogs'.
You need to assign "apps to Catalogs", "Catalogs to a Role" and at last "Role to the users". This is how users get authorization to the apps.
But users will not yet see those apps in their Launchpad. But it will be accessible in the "App Finder" for them to launch. If you want these apps to appear in the Launchpad as well, then you need to assign "apps to Groups", "Groups to a Role (this can be the above Role as well)", and then this "role to the user".
To assign Role to the user, open the role in transaction code PFCG. Under 'Users' tab, you can list/add the users who are going to have it.
