Resolution

As of SAP Solution Manager 7.10 SP05 a new role has been introduced, now it is required to have the role SAP_RCA_AGT_ADM_VIA_SLD to access the Agent Candidates Management. In the Solution Manager 7.1 the step Connect Diagnostics Agents is available in the System Preparation at transaction SOLMAN_SETUP to manipulate the SMD Agents. The Agent Candidates Management should be used only in case the wizards in SOLMAN_SETUP are not sufficient. Therefore, the SOLMAN_ADMIN user do not have this role by default.
