RoleAttribBCP.xml

This file contains the role attributes (the extra supporting information for the role) and the role details, such as Modified By, Modified On and Expires on. Each role can have many optional attributes. These attributes are displayed on the IRC user interface when viewing the role. However, they will not be displayed in the reports.

Element name Data type Length Mandatory Key Notes
RoleName String 255 Yes Foreign Role Name and Role Type present in the RoleBCP.xml file.
AttributeName String 100 Yes
AttributeValue String 255 Yes

This table shows the attributes that are required for correct processing in IRC:

AttributeName Mandatory Notes
Modified on No Date of modification if modified else it can be null
Modified By No Name of the user if modified else set it to null
Associated Profile No For AttributeName Associated Profile, the AttributeValue will be the automatically generated profile name by non-SAP applications. For example, T-17000114.
Contained Profiles No For AttributeName Contained Profiles, the AttributeValue will be the list of profiles contained within a composite profile or role. There will be a separate record for each contained role or profile. For example, if the role R1 contains profiles P1, P2, P3 then there will be 3 records in this file:
  • R1 Contained Profiles P1
  • R1 Contained Profiles P2
  • R1 Contained Profiles P3
Contained Roles No To show the child roles of a composite role.
Note: You need to indicate that the parent role contains the child role. However, you need not indicate any information on the child.

This example shows how to generate the RoleAttribBCP.xml for non-SAP applications.

RoleAttribBCP.xml

To add additional customer-defined role attributes, use this format:

RoleAttribBCP.xml

Note: By configuring your non-SAP data mapping to BizRights Interchange Format (BIF) XML, you can skip the SAP-centric method of having roles assigned to profiles, which are then assigned to T-codes. You can map your roles directly to T-codes (using authorizations).
