Assign the role to the PowerConnect App.
“Save” the role.

Next step would be to create an access user which makes use of the role created. If you already have a user that can inherit the role, you can skip this step and continue with installing the PowerConnect program in SAP AS ABAP or S/4HANA or SAP AS Java.
