How to find PFCG Role name for a Fiori App.
A bit of background on how a tile is assigned to a SAP user. Users in SAP are assigned roles. Each role could be a collection of Tile Catalog which contains Target Mapping and Tile.
Target mapping is a combination of Semantic Object Name and action. Together i.e. Semantic object and action are called Intent. The Intent in a system is unique. You can (loosely) compare an Intent to transaction code in classical SAP terms. Intent however can be linked to Fiori App, ALV report, Module pool program, Webdynpro, FPM application, Embedded Analytics etc.

Run transaction /UI2/FLIA, input Intent and execute.
This will give you Tile Catalog name (SAP_BASIS_TCR_T) and PFCG role name, ZBC_EXN in this particular case.
