About portal content permissions

Hi!
I have been searching for this question and maybe it is answered, but i didn't found.
I put the portal content iView for my administrators users to administrate a part of the portal content, only this, not the Content Administration whole role.
I tried giving permissions but it only appears Bussines Objects and Netweaver Content Producers folders, not the folders I wanted.
I'm sure that I have to do something more about permissions. Someone knows?
Thanks.

Hi, where did you try giving permissions?
Check on System Administration > Permissions > Portal Permissions if your settings are compatible
to your requirements.
are you doing this in a productive system? If so you may have to deal with security zones, productive systems
got a tighter security settings

EP Portal Content -permissions controlling and roles

Hi, i have a query on the permissions assigning to the users!
i.e., here i have doifferent users and they all have their own folders in the PortalContent Directory, but i want to allow only the corresponding user to access the his own folder and disallow the other users of accessing the other user's folders.
here im giving the detail explanation of the query...
In the Content Administration-->Portal Content-> i've a folder called PortalContent.
For the Portal Content folder the Permission role is super_admin, which is need to be assigned to all users, but in Portal Content i've subfolder of my own, by defult it's taking the super_admin role, so this will also be visible and modified by all users, but i don't want to make the other users accessible my subfolder, can i make it that one as visible to only one user, and invisible to remaining users other than Admin.
please resoond to this...
thank you,

hi sireesha
I think you can do this by naming the folder with the same as your userid or anything identifyable to the user. After that before accessing the contents you can check these names and if it matches you can allow the corresponding user to access the contents.
Another thing you can do in portal is that if you are not giving the super_admin role to any of your user, you add the permissions to the corresponding folder to the user. So the folder permission is given to the corresponding users only to access its contents.

Portal Content Directory Invisible

Hi,
I could not find my Portal Content Directory in my Content Administration. What could be the problem? Kindly help me out.
Regards,
Kalai.

The problem is due to lack of role as by default the portal content directory will permit only super admin role so if you have created user with out this role then you have to either add your user or the new role to the permissions of the Portal Content Folder....
You can do this by logging into the user with super admin role and add your user/role to the portal content permissions...
Permissions can be added either from System administration or from Content Administration ...
System Administration --> Permissions --> Select Portal Content and add your role or user
Content Administration --> Dbl Clk Portal Content Directory --> in the display select box select Permissions and add your user / role ...
this might help as i faced the similar problem ....

System Administration --> Permissions --> Select Portal Content and add your role or user
Content Administration --> Dbl Clk Portal Content Directory --> in the display select box select Permissions and add your user / role ...

Making Portal Content Visible/Invisible at Runtime

Hi SDNers,
I'm having a Portal Content Hierarchy which goes till 5 levels. The hierarchy includes roles, subroles, worksets, pages etc at different levels.
Now, the scenario is, not all the subroles should be visible to every user. I would like to make some WorkSets, Pages invisible for some user according to the specified role.
Means if a user doesnt have authorizations to do certain operations, those Pages, WorkSets should not be visible.
A Solution would be to prepare multiple Hierarchies according to the specified role. But those combinations are so many that I'm not feeling comfortable with the approach of making all the hierarchies statically.
I tried to find the solution with "Portal Content Permissions" but unfortunately couldnt come up with one.
Please let me know if anyone has any ideas for the same.
Thanks in advance,
Mausam

Hi,
Use PCDFilter, which can be used to filter role and workset content depending on the users.

Portal Content Deployment - History

Hello Gurus
Is there is a way to figure out the list of all the portal contents deployed in the portal. ( including date and time).
On the ABAP stack we have import history and we can check list of transports, in same way how can see the list of portal contents deplyed to PORTALS.
Appreciate your help.
Regards
Rrs

Ratan,
Interesting topic - it would depend on how your group has been exporting content (assuming that you are talking about Portal Content and not Java Development). By default, the export tool will overwrite the previous export file if you don't have a procedure in place to make new files for each export. Other then that, I don't think that there is a log of activity or content. For this I nornally require my content admins for Portals to create a unique folder for each project, a sub-foler for each section, and a single file for each export - adding a revision number to the end of each file as they export them.
A long explination for - the system doesn't do it but you can setup something so you can manage it yourself.
My method above helps to keep things in order and you can go look back at the export files and what was in them for this purpose. I also change the export/import directory for the Dev to QA Portal so Basis doesn't need to baby-sit the developers moving content between those two systems and so Developers don't need access to the file system. (Dev export directory is on an NFS between Dev and QA - QA import points to the NFS Dev export folder - so you can just import without doing anything). Somewhat like TMS - for prod I still have an NFS but Basis moves the files to the right import directory.
Hope that helps somewhat to get you going. May seem like overkill but when you get 5-10 portal developers moving quickly, it helps to keep it all in synch with the ECC transports!!

Question about permissions in portal content

Hi all,
I'd like to ask you guys a question about permissions given to pages in the portal content (EP 6.0).
When a user accesses a page that contains an iView (for example one for a Web Dynpro, or for a BSP), and the page permissions are correctly set for the user (or a group the user is member of), everything works fine and the user can see and use the application contained in the iView.
If the Page has no permissions set and the user tries to access this page, an empty page appears instead and the "Detailed Navigation" column appears on the left.
I know I should not let the user see the link to the page he is not authorized to use (this is done managing the roles given to the user), but I'd like to know from you if it is possible to show a message like "unauthorized user" instead of the empty page that appears.
Can you also tell me how to keep the "Detailed Navigation" column hidden on the extreme left?
Thank you for any hint you can give to me.
Lorenzo

Hi Lorenzo,
a way how you might go ahead and hide or show content for specific user groups is via roles merging (see documentation <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/53/89503ede925441e10000000a114084/content.htm">http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/53/89503ede925441e10000000a114084/content.htm</a>
In essence, this means that you create for example 2 roles (A and B): A contains some content everyone can see, B more secure content for another group. You merge those 2 roles via a merge ID - and if a user has both roles, he sees the content in this workset with all the navigation options. If somebody only has role A, he will only see this content.
Maybe this is someting that could help with you considerations (always depending on the number of items that are affected, this might be a useful way, or leading to too much confusion, because you have too much different roles).
Best regards
Jana

Return Standard Permissions to Portal Content Objects

Hello experts,
I was changing the Permissions of some portal content objects and accidentally I've modified the permissions of all the Portal Content Objects (including the standard objects). I clicked the "Reset child permissions" button of the Permission Editor of the "Portal Content" folder. Do you know any way to return the standard permissions?
Best regards and thanks in advance

Hi,
If you have another portal then you can transport permissions from the first to the seccond portal.

Portal Content - Folder level Permissions

Hi Experts,
The standard Portal Content Folder allows a developer to create any folders, iviews & other objects inside that folder.
But Users don't get access to delete the Portal Content Folder itself.
Now i am trying to set a folder & trying to give access to developers to create their stuff inside that folder ,,, When i give Full Control on that folder they can create edit objects inside but at the same time there is a fair chance that they delete the folder by mistake.
How do i restrict this?... One should have access to create objects inside the folder but not delete the folder itself.!
regards,
Shawn.

Hi Shawn,
Please check the [Permission Inheritance Model|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_ep60sp2/helpdata/en/f6/2604e905fd11d7b84200047582c9f7/content.htm] of PCD. The guide one [Setting Permissions|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_ep60sp2/helpdata/en/f6/2604db05fd11d7b84200047582c9f7/content.htm] can be helpful to make sure that the Root Folder you are planing should not pass the Inherited permission to it's sub-trees if it is restricted to display only explicitly.

Some question about mdm java api and portal content

Hi Gurus,
I am new to MDM. I am going to develop some web dynpro application using mdm java api.
My question is regarding the relationship between MDM version and NW version:
for example
1.MDM5.5 JAVA api can be deployed to CE 7.11 server?
2.MDM7.1 JAVA API can be deployed to CE 7.11 server? or can only be deployed to CE server.
the same question for the MDM portal content.
the possible dev environment for our company would be:
1.MDM7.1
2.CE7.2(do we need another EP7 server for the UWL?)
Best regards,
John

Hi,
I am using Portal 7.0. MDM version is 7.1.
My problem is ... i am trying to connect WebDynpro (JAVA) to MDM7.1. But am unable to do so. I have a WD Frame in which i have a WD iView and the MDM iView. But i am unable to pass parameters from the WD iView to MDM Item Details iView.
Note:
1. I have deployed MDM JAVA API on NWDS
2. I have specified " * " as a parameter to pass from the URL in the Item Details iView.
Please help.
Every help that i have read talks about CE7.1 but not NW 7.0

Problem with Permissions while accessing Portal Content

Dear All,
Im facing some problems with the permission in accessing the portal content.
When i right click on any of the folders in the catalog displayed under the System Administration - > System Configuration -> System Landscape -> Content directory provided by SAP . I get the following Menu options on right click -> NEW -- > Folder, Change ID, Copy, Delete.
I dont get a option such as NEW --> System(from template) which is important to configure the ABAP ECC 6.0 System with the EP 7.0 to enable logon through the Portal to access the ABAP Database through Web browser.
I have installed EP 7.0 JAVA stack alone separately and ECC 6.0 ABAP stack alone separately.
I have tried assigning System Admin Role, Super User Role, Group as Administrators. But nothing seems to work.
Im not sure of the roles to be assigned.
thanks,
Deepak

Deepak,
Try giving the foll roles,
pcd:portal_content/administrator/super_admin/super_admin_role
and groups,

Authenticated Users (GRUP.SUPER_GROUPS_DATASOURCE.AUTHENTICATED_USERS)

Javascript error when loading Portal Content

I used "NW04 SP16 sneakpreview".
Installation went fine but I can't seem to get anything in my portal content PCD. Below on the left I have Javascript errormsg which states the following:
Line: 90
Char: 3
Error: 'undefined' is null or not an object
Code: 0
Url: (very long url)
I thought it had something to do with the errormsg that I received about the encryption config failure (see below) so I executed sap note 796540:
If you installed the J2EE Engine with "weak encryption", the most probable cause for problems with user mapping is incorrect configuration. To resolve this, set the UME property "ume.usermapping.unsecure" to "TRUE", restart the J2EE server, and try again.
But this dit not the trick unfortunantly.
I also checked for permissions for my Admin but he has Super_Admin so that should be ok to I think.
Perhaps it has something to do with not having a System Landscape defined but how can I do this?
Or is it something else that I have overseen? Perhaps installing a license? (which I did not do yet)
Thank you for your assistance.
Kind regards,
Tom.
PS if you need more info I'll provide it for you.

Thanks for your update, we have resolved the issue with this help. Very thankfull.

In Portal Content admin Role "Portal content" folder is not displaying

Hi,
I created a user in EP and assign Only Content admin Role. But in portal content area "Portal content "folder is not displaying.
Can someone help me the process steps to achieve it?
Thanks,
kundan

It is because the user has no proper permissions to the porta content folder.
you should give atleast read permission to the portal content folder to the content_admin role or to the users who have content admin role.
also make sure the end user check box is checked at the time of giving permissions.
Otherwise give eevryone group as read permisisons to the portal content folder. then you can see the portal content folder with read permissiosn only.
