## 14.5 Roles and Authorizations (SAP Fieldglass)
A technical user is required in the SAP S/4HANA system to process messages coming from SAP Fieldglass. This user must not have the SAP\_ALL authorization. Instead, you have to do the following:
1. Create a role that contains the authorization object ARBFND\_FG , enter your SAP Fieldglass buyer company code in the field FG\_BUY\_CC , and assign this role to the technical user.
2. Assign the role Enter Invoices for Verification in the Background ( SAP\_MM\_IV\_CLERK\_BATCH1 ) to the technical user. This role provides authorization to post or park incoming invoice documents in the background. Alternatively, you can assign any other role that contains the authorization object M\_RECH\_WRK .
3. Depending on whether you use direct or mediated connectivity, you also have to assign one of the following roles:
- For direct connectivity: Web Service Consumer ( SAP\_BC\_WEBSERVICE\_CONSUMER )
5. This role is required for using Web service protocol to communicate in direct connectivity.
- For mediated connectivity: Exchange Infrastructure: Service User for Application Systems ( SAP\_XI\_APPL\_SERV\_USER
)
This role is required to communicate through XI protocol in mediated connectivity.
4. Users who have to perform supplier-related Customizing activities must have the following authorization objects assigned to their role:
- F\_LFA1\_GEN with activity '03'
- F\_LFA1\_GRP with activity '03'
