Add new Project roles in SAP Cloud ALM
In this post I would like to explain
- How to add a new custom Project role
- How to use the newly created Project role in a Project team
- What access will be given to the new Role
How to add a custom Project role
As you already know that SAP Cloud ALM comes preloaded with list of roles from SAP Activate methodology , we decided to give you the flexibility to extend it
Go to Manage Projects , you will see a new Tab called roles
You can navigate to this and click to create a Project role , you can also give a Description and save
in this example I just call it “My Custom role”
after saving , the role appears in role list with a special icon
You can delete it if you wish
How to use the newly created Project role
You can navigate to the desired Project , go to team setup and you will find the newly created role
You can just assign persons to it and use it as other Project roles in the system
What access is given to the person assigned to custom Project role
At this stage all custom Project roles are mapped to the Project member authorisation role

Hi Jagmohan
Im pretty new to Cloud ALM and i was reading your post mainly about authorization roles, combined with project roles. and what i understand so far that there is only those 4 authorizations roles with the default "permissions". what i am interested now is, i really want to create own authorization roles, mainly because we want to differ between the permission to import a feature into QUA system and the permission to import a feature into Production.
is such a thing possible? sorry i didnt find any fiting so far, thats why i text you here.
thanks a lot for your feedback and best regards

Hey there Lukas, just a heads up for you, SAP now added in the "Change Manager" and "Deployment Manager" roles under the "Change and Deployment Management" grouping. This is for the standard Cloud ALM roles that you can assign in user management. Change manager lets you import features to QA and Deployement manager lets you do the same for prod. For people to create transports/release them in the first place, they need project lead. Actually im trying to figure out a way to seperate out the create/release transport functionality from this project lead role, but its a work in progress for sure!
