Enterprise Profitability and Cost Management

The following table lists and describes Enterprise Profitability and Cost Management application roles and maps them with predefined roles.

Note:

Roles within the application that lack mapping to predefined roles require individual assignments to users or groups. Without such assignments, users are unable to engage in activities related to their application roles. For instance, the "Ad Hoc - Read Only User" role, which is not associated with any predefined role in the subsequent table, needs to be explicitly granted to a user to activate its features. This functionality is not automatically included in any predefined role.
