How does SAP Fiori achieve the role-based design principle?

SAP Fiori achieves the role-based design principle by providing end users with tailored applications that focus on the specific information and functions necessary for their daily tasks. This design approach ensures that users have a streamlined experience, where they can easily access the tools and data relevant to their roles without being overwhelmed by unnecessary features or information. By centering the design around user roles, SAP Fiori enhances productivity and user satisfaction, as individuals can perform their functions more efficiently.

In contrast, while the idea of condensing all transactions into one application may seem efficient, it contradicts the role-based approach because it does not allow for customization specific to user roles. Likewise, favoring more complex transactions over simpler apps undermines the goal of providing a user-friendly interface tailored to real-world job needs. Lastly, allowing all users to access system settings directly lacks the focus on role specificity, potentially leading to confusion and mismanagement of the application environment. Therefore, tailoring applications directly to the users' job functions is the essence of SAP Fiori’s role-based design.
