Useful Transactions

Apart from the regular bunch, here are a few important transactions that come in handy and absolutely necessary at times.

• PFCG: Role Maintenance (Profile Generator)
  Simple and composite roles can be created using this transaction. You can describe the functions (such as Create/Edit/Delete/and many more) that the role is to include. You can assign transactions to the role on the menu tab. The menu options selected in this step are displayed in the session manager and on the 'SAP easy access logon screen as the User menu for all users who are assigned to the role.
  
  Using PFCG - A Sample Scenario:
  1. Write a name, for example ZTWS, in Role Name.
  2. Click on Create Role and write a description for the role, such as "Role for the TWS user".
  3. Save the role.
  4. Select the Authorizations tab.
  5. Click on Change Authorization Data.
  6. In the ensuing pop-up select Templates.
