Move roles from one client to another in SAP

Transporting User Roles between Clients (Transport System Method)

When a modification is made to a role in the 100 client, the roles must be transported to the 800 client.  One role, several roles, or all roles can be done if needed.  They can all be added to the same transport change request.  After the roles have been moved to other clients, you will need to log on to each of those clients and do a user comparison.  You will also need to do a text comparison in client 100 of the appropriate SAP system.

1.               Log on to client 100 of the appropriate SAP system.

2.               Go to transaction PFCG.

3.               On the Role maintenance screen, type in the Role name of the first role to be transported.  Click the Truck picture-icon.

4.               You will see an Information popup.  Click the green √ picture-icon.

5.               In the Choose objects popup, unclick the □s beside User assignment and Personalization.  If you want to transport the users along with the role, profiles, and authorizations, you can √ the □ to the left of User assignment.  Click the green √ picture-icon.

6.               On the Prompt for Customizing request popup, click the blank page picture-icon to create a new change request.  On the Create Request popup, fill in the Short description and click the Save picture-icon.  You will be returned to the Prompt for Customizing request popup which contains the generated change request number for this system change. Click the green √ to continue.

7.               You will see a Data entered in change request message in the status bar at the bottom of the screen.  Now enter the name of the next role to be transported and click the Truck picture-icon.

8.               You will see an Information popup.  Click the green √ picture-icon.

9.               In the Choose objects popup, unclick the □s beside User assignment and Personalization. If you want to transport the users along with the role, profiles, and authorizations, you can √ the □ to the left of User assignment. Click the green √ picture-icon.

10.           On the Prompt for Customizing request popup, continue to use the same transport you created in step 6.  Click the green √ to continue.

11.           Continue to perform steps 7 through 10 until all the roles you need to transport have been attached to the transport change request.

12.           The generated transport can now be released and transported into the clients needing the modified roles.

13.           You may now leave the PFCG transaction.
