Create a Conigma user group
Functional scope
In standard customizing, the user group is maintained in the Repository Browser under the node "Configuration" --> "User groups" in the tree structure on the left side of the screen. The node "Configuration" is usually only visible for administrators.
The creation of a new Conigma user group is done via the menu entry "Add new user group" of the context menu within the node "User Groups". The context menu can be opened by a right click on the node.
General settings
If the menu item for creating a new user group has been selected, a modal dialogue opens to define the properties of the new group.
Following settings can be configured in the user group.
Properties | Dialog | Description |
|---|---|---|
Description | Description | Mandatory entry of a descriptive text for the user group with a maximum length of 60 characters. Further language-dependent descriptions can be stored via the label symbol. |
Internal ID | Properties | Mandatory entry of a unique identifier with a maximum of 30 characters for the user group. This identifier is normally used to store a user group as part of an authorization check. |
Mode | Properties | The mode specifies how users are added to the group. The following modes exist:
|
No authorization inheritance for deputies | Properties | When a deputy is added to a member of a user group, membership of the group is inherited in the "Conigma Object Links" mode. If this behavior is not desired for certain groups, this check box can be selected to disable the inheritance. |
Using email addresses of the subordinate users | Email connection | If this option is enabled, a function letterbox can be specified for the entire group to which group-specific email notifications can be sent. If this option is not enabled, the email address box is hidden. |
Enter email address for the group | Email connection | For group-specific email notifications, the email addresses stored in the group members' user master records are used. |
Use email addresses for associated users | Email connection | Function email box for the entire group when the "email address for the group" option is set. |
Language | Preferred language | Preferred language in which group-specific email notifications should be sent. This specification is only relevant if the option "Enter email address for the group" is set, otherwise this information is determined from the user master records of the group members. |
Active | Object state | Indicates whether the group is active. |
Shortcut settings
While creating a user group, other shortcut settings can also be made. Shortcuts are object attachments for email notifications, which are linked to the SAP GUI client and navigate directly to a specific Conigma object in the Repository Browser. For example, shortcuts to change requests may be included in e-mail notifications about status changes of a change request.
The following settings can be made for shortcuts:
Deactivate shortcuts: Email notifications to this user group are sent without shortcuts
System ID: Preferred SAP system to be opened by shortcuts
Client: Preferred SAP client to be opened by shortcuts
These settings are only relevant if the option "Enter email address for the group" is set in the general settings. If the "Use email addresses of associated users" option is set, the shortcut settings are determined from the user master records of the group members.
