In SAP Fieldglass, associating a proxy role to a user role is a fundamental administrative task for managing delegation. This action defines a rule-based eligibility pool. It specifies which roles (the proxy roles) contain users who are permitted to act as a proxy for users assigned to the original role. This allows for scalable and secure management of proxies, ensuring that delegation of responsibilities, such as approvals, is restricted to users with appropriate functions and permissions as defined by their assigned roles, rather than managing permissions on an individual-by-individual basis.

A. This is incorrect because the association is between roles to create a pool of potential proxies, not selecting specific proxy users for one user.

B. This is incorrect as the association is made to a specific user role, not for multiple user roles simultaneously in a single action.

C. This is incorrect because the process involves selecting roles whose members can act as proxies, not selecting a single individual user.

"Proxy Management": The documentation explicitly states

"Proxy roles are associated with user roles to determine which roles can serve as a proxy for another role. For example

the Administrative Assistant role can be associated with the Hiring Manager role. This means that any user with the Administrative Assistant role can be a proxy for any user with the Hiring Manager role." This directly supports the concept of selecting roles that can serve as proxies for another role.

Course TFG60 - SAP Fieldglass Services and External Workforce

Unit: User and Company Structure: This course material details the configuration of user roles and their associated permissions and settings. In the section on advanced user management

it describes how proxy roles are linked to primary user roles to establish a framework for delegation

reinforcing that the association is a role-to-role definition.
