Last Updated on August 11, 2022 by admin

The following SAP Security training tutorial guides you on how to create composite roles in SAP step by step. In our previous training tutorials we have learned about how to create single roles and derived roles.

The Role is used to choose the menu and create a particular authorization profile. The SAP system provides standard roles to use, however you can define new roles in the SAP system as per the requirements of an organization.

You can maintain composite roles in SAP systems by using one of the following navigation methods.
