5 1 Focused Insight Roles and Personas Focused Insights for SAP Solution Manager is based on the overall architecture and infrastructure of SAP Solution Manager 7.2 SPS 5. Therefore, all the security guidelines for SAP Solution Manager apply. To check the Secure Configuration Security Guide of SAP Solution Manager, go to and select version 7.2. SPS Personas Focused Insights delivers dashboards that consume metrics and KPIs from SAP Solution Manager and can be easily configured to display extensive information on all the systems connected to the SAP Solution Manager System. The following personas (main roles) are associated to the usage of these dashboards: Dashboard Configurator (or Administrator) Dashboard Configurators configure the dashboards. Based on the requirements of their organizations they will configure the dashboard models with the various systems and metrics from their SAP Solution Manager system. Configuring one dashboard model triggers the creation of an instance (configuration) of this dashboard. This instance is identified by a unique configuration ID. Dashboard User Dashboard Users view the data in the dashboards instances. These users are not able to make changes to the dashboard configuration. 1.2 Focused Insights Roles Two roles are delivered with Focused Insights. These Focused Insights roles provide a generic access to all dashboards; they can be copied and tailored to specific needs as described in this document. SAP_OST_FI_DISPLAY_ALL This is the role needed to view all the dashboard instances (regardless of the dashboard model). Here are the authorization objects and values details: Focused Insight Roles and Personas 2018 SAP SE or an SAP affiliate company. All rights reserved. 5

6 SAP_OST_FI_DISPLAY_ALL (Display All Dashboards) SAP_OST_FI_ADMIN_ALL This role can configure all dashboard models and instances. Here are the authorization objects and values details: SAP_OST_FI_ADMIN_ALL (Administration All Dashboards) SAP SE or an SAP affiliate company. All rights reserved. Focused Insight Roles and Personas

7 1.3 Standard SAP Solution Manager Roles and Authorizations To allow the users to execute the Focused Insights dashboards and applications, the following roles and authorizations must be assigned to the users in addition to the Focused Insights roles (SAP_OST_FI_DISPLAY_ALL and SAP_OST_FI_ADMIN_ALL): Roles: SAP_SMWORK_TECH_MON: This role is required to monitor performance of your systems by the customizing of templates pre-delivered by SAP. SAP_NOTIF_ADMIN: This role is used for Notification Management functionality in the SAP Solution Manager system. SAP_SM_EEM_LEVEl02: This role is required for using the EEM Monitoring UI or the Alert Inbox. With this role the user can trigger an extra execution (with trace) in the Monitoring UI or confirm an alert in the alert inbox. SAP_SYSTEM_REPOSITORY_DIS: This role is needed to display a technical system. SAP_TECHMON_DISPLAY_COMP: This role enables the display of usage of Technical Monitoring. It contains authorization for displaying the complete technical monitoring applications. SAP_BC_WEBSERVICE_SERVICE_USER: This role contains all authority objects needed to be able to run the back ground tasks of the web service. SAP_SM_BI_DISP: This role is used for displaying authorization for BW Reporting display user. Authorizations: S_RS_COMP: Using this authorization object, you can restrict the components that you work with in the Business Explorer query definition. S_RS_COMP1: With this authorization object, you can restrict query component authorization with regards to the owner. This authorization object is checked in conjunction with the authorization object S_RS_COMP. S_SERVICE: This authorization object is automatically checked when external services are started (not yet for all service types). Note These authorizations are included in SAP_OST_FI_DISPLAY_ALL role. As a best practice, a copy of these standard roles should be created in the customer namespace.

8 2 Detailed Authorization Concept 2.1 Definition The authorization objects, authorization fields, keys table, data elements, and table facade have been created under the package /STDF/DASH. The authorizations are defined independently for each Dashboard Factory model. A Focused Insights dashboard application is generally composed of the following components: Configuration application To configure a dashboard model into an instance of the dashboard. This application allows the dashboard configurator to select the technical systems and their KPIs and to define how they are displayed in the dashboard. OData service This is the communication backbone between the dashboard front-end and the SAP Solution Manager backend. BSP application This is the dashboard application that displays the configured dashboard instances. The access to these components is controlled by specific authorization objects. 2.2 Focused Insights Authorization Objects per Dashboard Dashboard Authorization Application Area SLR (Service Level Dashboard) /STDF/APPD Dashboard /STDF/APPC Configuration TAC(Tactical Dashboard) /STDF/APPD Dashboard /STDF/APPC Configuration OPE (Operation Dashboard) /STDF/APPD Dashboard /STDF/APPC Configuration SCR (Strategic Dashboard) /STDF/APPD Dashboard /STDF/APPC /STDF/APPQ /STDF/APPT Configuration Data Quality Template AP (Application Performance Dashboard) /STDF/APPD Dashboard SAP SE or an SAP affiliate company.

It contains an authorization field that is populated with the Focused Insights application code: SLR, STR, OPE, TAC, AP, RD, OCC. /STDF/APPD Authorization to run the dashboard. It contains two fields: KEY and APP. APP contains the Focused Insights app code: SLR, STR, OPE, TAC, AP, RD, OCC. KEY contains the dashboard keys. The keys should be in this format: <DASHBOARD_CODE>_ <CONFIG_ID>. /STDF/APPQ /STDF/APPT 2.4 Role Configuration Example This example describes how roles could be configured to control the access to some dashboards. In this example, two dashboard models are used: the Tactical Dashboard (Dashboard code: TAC) and the Operation Dashboard (code: OPE). For these two models, several instances which have been configured: Configuration IDs 4 and 6 for the Tactical Dashboard. Configuration ID 1 for the Operation Dashboard. Therefore, we have following dashboard keys: TAC_4 TAC_6 OPE_1 The following table shows another example of how roles could configure the following roles: Admin user role Strategic full access role Operation access role Detailed Authorization Concept 2018 SAP SE or an SAP affiliate company.

15 4 Configuring Anonymous Access As an administrator, you provide access to Focused Insights application for different departments or teams. The usual scenario is that you create several configuration instances appropriate to each concerned entity and grant access to them according to the Focused Insights authorization concept. Behind the scene, you have to create users and roles for each entity to allow access to different configurations separately. If you want to broadcast the dashboard information to a large audience, this method would be tedious, might have impact on the licenses, and might also be a constraint, for example, if the dashboard owner just wants to provide direct links to the dashboard for information purposes, even to non-sap users. Therefore, you can configure Focused Insights applications to use ANONYMOUS ACCESS. 4.1 Step by Step Procedures The following steps have to be performed in your environement to enable the anonymous access to the Focused Insights dashboards: Steps Description Comment Create communication User for SAPUi5 Libraries Add logon data to the SAPUi5 libraries. Create the Anonymous User Configure Roles and Authorization Create an External Alias for OData services Create an External Alias for bsp applications Distribute URLs The communication user is used to authenticate when retrieving ui libraries. Setup of the scif The anonymous user is a communication user used to authenticate dashboard requests Each anonymous user is managed through the standard Focused insights roles and authorizations concepts Services aliases are used to associate dashboards requests to the anonymous users for automatic logon A dedicated URL for each dashboard based on the bsp and OData aliases will be given to your end-users in your organization Done only once for all anonymous access Done only once for all anonymous access Configuring Anonymous Access 2018 SAP SE or an SAP affiliate company.

40 5 Configuring Instance Dashboard Groups Usually, the administrator can grant access to Focused Insights Applications for different users by giving authorization to each dashboard instance individually. For making the authorization process easier to manage, we introduce a new concept: INSTANCE DASHBOARD GROUP. It helps to organize dashboard instances and simplify authorizations maintenance. Indeed, for configuring the access to different instances of multiple dashboards, you can put them in the same group and assign them to roles. Inside the same group, all dashboard types (OCC, OPE, TAC ) can be mixed up. 5.1 Step by Step Procedure The following steps have to be performed in your environment to enable the Instance Dashboard Group for the Focused Insights dashboards: Create the Dashboard Instance Groups DB Table Create the Dashboard Groups DB Table Configure Roles and authorizations Data Model For using the authorization Group Concept two tables have to be created: Dashboard Groups Dashboard Instance Groups These tables are defined with this model: SAP SE or an SAP affiliate company. All rights reserved. Configuring Instance Dashboard Groups

41 5.1.2 Create the Dashboard Groups DB Table The Dashboard Groups DB Table contains two columns: Group Id: It is a string and not an integer as it is more convenient to support the group creation/deletion process together with the maintenance of authorizations. Group Name Create the Dashboard Instance Groups DB Table The Dashboard Instance Groups DB Table contains three columns: Group Id Dashboard Model: It is the name of the dashboard. Dashboard Instance Id: It corresponds to the dashboard instance that will be included in the group. A dashboard instance belongs to only one group. To remain compatible with the released versions of Focused Insights, dashboard instance may have no group assigned (i.e. default group) Configure Roles and Authorizations You can configure a Role using the authorization APPD: Display Authorization to give access to dashboard groups. When a user has the display authorization for a group, all dashboard instances belonging to this group can be displayed. Group ids can be used as keys for display authorizations (authorization object/stdf/appd). They should be written GROUP_<ID> where <ID> is the id of a group. Note For displaying a dashboard instance, the user must have also the Authorization Field App (/STDF/APP) set for the corresponding dashboard model.

42 5.2 Step by Step Example In this example, a SAP Customer company is using Focused Insights. The company has two departments: Department1 and Department 2. The administrator configures two users to provide them different authorizations to Dashboard Instances: FI_GRP_TST_1 and FI_GRP_TST_2. The administrator wants to provide to the user FI_GRP_TST_1 the Authorization to Display these instances: Dashboard Model Dashboard Instance Id TAC 1, 3 OCC 4 OPE 1, 2 The administrator wants to provide to the user FI_GRP_TST_2 the Authorization to Display these instances: Dashboard Model Dashboard Instance Id TAC 1,3 OCC 1, 3 OPE 2 The following sections will describe the configuration steps for the Instance Dashboard Groups SAP SE or an SAP affiliate company.
