Authorizations in the Application Component Performance Management (Objective Setting and Appraisals)

Authorizations in the Application Component Performance Management (Objective Setting and Appraisals)

SAP Standard Roles

The following SAP standard roles are delivered for PM.

• SAP_HR_HAP_ADMINISTRATOR (Administrator – Appraisals and objective setting agreements)

• SAP_HR_HAP_EMPLOYEE

(Employee Generic – Appraisals and objective setting agreements)

• SAP_HR_HAP_MANAGER

(Manager Generic – Appraisals and objective setting agreements)

You can access these standard roles in transaction PFCG. For customer implementations, you must copy these roles to a customer-specific namespace and make the necessary changes. When you enter a new name, note that it may not comprise an SAP-specific name (SAP,” _“). This is to ensure that a clear distinction can be made between customer-specific roles and standard SAP roles.
