Gearing Up for the Import
Before we delve into the nitty-gritty, there are a few things to snag. Imagine them as your trusty quest items:
Tip: Read carefully — skimming skips meaning.
- The Role Authorization Data: This acts as the blueprint for your role, containing all the juicy details like permissions and profiles. You can grab it from your source system (like a good ol' SAP ECC).
- Access to GRC System: Duh, but hey, gotta cover all the bases! Make sure you have the proper login and a can-do attitude.
The Importening: A Step-by-Step Saga
Now, let's embark on this epic journey!
Tip: Reflect on what you just read.
Log In and Ascend the Command Tower: Fire up your trusty GRC system and log in with your credentials. Remember, with great power (to import roles) comes great responsibility (to not mess things up).
Seek Out the Wise Oracle (a.k.a. Access Management): Navigate to the mystical land of "Access Management." Look for something that mentions "Role Import" – that's your portal to authorization glory.
Prepare the Offering (a.k.a. The Data): Here's where you choose the file containing your role authorization data. Think of it as a peace offering to the GRC gods (of access control).
**Unleash the Magic (but Double-Check First!) Preview the roles before importing. This lets you see what's about to happen, kind of like checking a map before you embark on your quest.
The Grand Importation: Feeling confident? Click that glorious "Import" button and watch the GRC system weave its magic. Just like that, your role is now a resident of your GRC realm.
Bonus Tip: There might be some permission conflicts or existing roles with the same name. The GRC system will warn you – just choose how you want to handle these brave knights before they enter your digital castle.
QuickTip: Focus on one line if it feels important.
