Create TM user roles

SmartChange comes with some template roles which can be used such as roles for developers, approvers, administrators:

Role name	Function	Explanation
/RTC/TM_ADMINISTRATOR	TM Administrator	TM: Admin permissions
/RTC/TM_ALL	TM ALL authorizations	TM: All in TM + Standard authorizations
/RTC/TM_APPR1	Content approver	TM-Role for approver1 (C, FC)
/RTC/TM_APPR2	Technical approver	TM-Role for approver2 (T, FT)
/RTC/TM_DEV	Developer	TM-Role for developer (U, FU)
/RTC/TM_P_MANAGER	Project manager	TM-Role for Project Manager (AP, AU)
/RTC/TM_SUP_APPR1	Super content approver	TM-Role for super approver1 (CS, SC)
/RTC/TM_SUP_APPR2	Super technical approver	TM-Role for super approver2 (ST, TS)
/RTC/TM_USER_BASICS	Basic user	TM: Minimal authorization for TM user

You can start assigning these roles to your users and copy and modify them is needed.

The internal authorization object ‘ZRTC_TM’ is delivered with Transport Management. This authorization object has four authorization fields which enable to assign authorizations individually to each action by project, destination, and transport level. Depending on the role distribution, authorizations, and roles can be created and assigned to these objects. Additionally, a minimum of SAP authorizations, which are all contained in the provided role ‘/RTC/TM_USER_BASICS’, is to be assigned to each user. There is a value list for the authorization field ‘/RTC/TM_AC’ of each action in Transport Management. In addition to the individual authorizations for object ‘ZRTC_TM’ each Transport Management user additionally requires at least the authorizations of the delivered role ‘/RTC/TM_USER_BASICS’.

Example: To be authorized to grant content approvals for external requests, a user requires the activities ‘FC’ and ‘FR’ within the same authorization. It is not sufficient to have both activities in one role if these are assigned to two different authorizations.

Here are all activities in detail:
