Symptom
Users are not able to create public views for applications since the "Public" checkbox is not available.
Environment
SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition
Reproducing the Issue
- In sap open any app and give all the parameters and click on go
- Save the variant with the suitable name
- Public option to save the variant in public is not available
Cause
Fiori Launchpad is configured with parameter "UI5FLEX_ENABLE_VARIANTS" as "PRIVATE".
This parameter specify if users are allowed to create and adapt views and whether they're allowed to share them (see Save Your Personal Settings as a View).
-
PUBLIC (default)
Users are allowed to create and adapt new views. By selecting the Public checkbox, they can also share them with other users.
-
PRIVATE
Users are allowed to create and adapt new views, but the Public checkbox is not displayed, preventing users from sharing views.
-
NONE
Users are not allowed to create or adapt views. They can still set a view as favorite and change their default view. Optionally, they can also choose whether a view should be applied automatically, meaning a search should immediately be triggered as soon as the view is selected.
Resolution
To allow the creation of PUBLIC views, it's necessary to change the parameter in Manage Launchpad Settings application.
To use this, the Business catalog SAP_CORE_BC_UI which is included in Business Role template SAP_BR_ADMINISTRATOR is required.
