SPM in SP10

Question

Hello, Please can someone assist. I am setting up SPM. I plan to use Role based administration.
Do I need to do any set up in the UME. Previously in early release of 5.3 I used the UME to set up controllers, owners etc.
Is that still necessary. I have the security guide, and have printed out the HELP from the SAP website, but I still do not understand.
e.g. if I want a user to have a firefighter role, I know that i do that in the work bench, is it still necessary to allocate the user the role ?VIRSA/Z_VFAT_FIREFIGHTER, and do I do that via the SAP GUI?
Please can you help.
Thank you
Jill

Jill,
<< I plan to use Role based administration.>.
i expect in ABAP stack you had set concerened config parameter to YES, so that you can use Role base...
when you are using Role based SPM, then user work like regular user and don't need access to /VIRSA/VFAT tcode, as user is not required to login via SPM.
so user don't need FIREFIGHTER role
per my understanding.......... controllers and owners need to be set up in UME only if you use reporting in JAVA stack.
these will be dummy user ids, without any access in UME, however regular users in ABAP stack
please check user guide for more hlep.
