Assign the SAP Web IDE Role Templates to the Role Collections

SAP Web IDE supplies the following predefined role templates:

• WebIDE_Administrator,
• WebIDE_Developer, and
• xsac_hrtt_developer_template

You can assign these templates to existing role collections, or role collections that were newly created for this purpose. If you already have role collections for administrators or developers, assigning the supplied templates to these collections grants the relevant SAP Web IDE permissions to the respective users. Alternatively, create dedicated role collections for SAP Web IDE users. Then assign the role collections to the relevant users.

Perform these tasks in the Application Role Builder tool available in the XS Advanced Administration and Monitoring Tools.

To access this tool, you need the authorization scopes defined in the XS_AUTHORIZATION_ADMIN role collection.

Create and Manage Spaces in XS Advanced

You can create and manage multiple spaces in XS Advanced for different development teams in your

organization.

In the XS Advanced Administration and Monitoring Tools, open the Organizations and Space Management administration tool, and create the spaces required for your development teams.

Grant Developer Permissions to Users

To enable users to develop applications with SAP Web IDE for SAP HANA, create the necessary SAP HANA database users and assign them to the development roles, as described in Roles and Permissions for Administration and Development.

• xs undeploy com.sap.devx.webide –delete-services
