Fiori Authorizations
A focused learning path on securing SAP Fiori launchpad and app access: front-end catalogs/groups, back-end authorization objects, PFCG role design for Fiori, OData/service authorizations, and how these pieces integrate across ECC, S/4HANA, and BTP to enforce least privilege while keeping apps usable.

Lessons in this topic
- Designing PFCG Roles for Fiori: Catalogs, Groups, and Backend AlignmentLearn the practical role design workflow for Fiori: how to build or adapt PFCG roles that bundle front-end catalogs and groups with the correct backend authorizations, including OData service authorizations and organizational-level restrictions.
- Assembling Business Roles from Fiori Catalogs and Groups in PFCGLearn how to combine Fiori catalogs, groups, and target mappings into coherent PFCG business roles that deliver correct launchpad content without over-provisioning backend access.
- Advanced Runtime Trace Analysis for Fiori Authorization FailuresMaster the technique of tracing authorization checks across the Fiori Launchpad, OData/Gateway layer, and ABAP backend to pinpoint the exact object, field, and value causing an access failure, and to remediate it safely.
- Fiori Authorization Fundamentals: Front-End and Back-End Building BlocksUnderstand why Fiori apps need authorization on two layers - the launchpad (tiles, catalogs, groups) and the backend business logic - and how these layers must be aligned for an app to actually work for a user.
- Enterprise Fiori Authorization Governance: Landscape Scaling, Migration, and Operating ModelArchitect-level guidance for scaling Fiori authorization design across large, multi-system, multi-cloud landscapes, including governance structures, migration strategy from ECC to S/4HANA, BTP identity federation trade-offs, and long-term operating model for least privilege at enterprise scale.
