Assigning iViews to Roles without Pages

I have created several "SAP Transaction" iViews that rely on HTML GUI and would like to add these to my Portal. When I assign them to a page, and then add that page to a role, the iView height does not display automatically. The iView is only about 80 pixels high.
I have also tried assigning the iView directly to the role, and in this case it displays correctly.
Is there any purpose to using "Portal Pages" if an iView is the only content being displayed for that Top Level or Second Level navigation choice?
Are there any problems with assigning iViews directly to roles?
Thanks for any answers you provide.
Best regards,
Bryan

You are correct, this concept didn't exist in EP5. In EP6 a Page and an iView are basically the same object, which is why it doesn't matter which one you assign to a role. The other thing is that if you do use a page, then the pagebuilder tends to include a lot more resources into the output, which increases the size (and potentially time) of the page downloaded to the client. If you only have transactional iviews, then I would forget about the page. If you decided to try and use the pages, then the things that can cause this problem are: -
1) Domain of the iView is different to the domain of the portal and when the portal tries to re-size the page it can't access the size of the content and therefore can't resize it
2) I would check things like the maximum and minimum page size attributes on the page. They may have default values in an iView but not a page
I hope this helps

How to assign iView to user.

Hi All
How do we assign iView to Role or Users.
Thanks...Suresh

It is not possible to assign an iView directly to a user. Only roles can be attached to users. This can be done by going to User administration on the Portal.
Select the user name using the search functionality, navigate to 'Assigned roles' and attach the same there.
Conversely, it is also possible to search for the role name and navigate to 'Assigned users' and attach the user there.
Hope this helps.

Customize No-roles assigned iview

Hi all,
I have created a custom iview to replace "no-roles assigned iview" in the portal (which is displayed if a user without any roles logs in.
I have added this to the "standard user role (eu_role)" and intern added this role to the "everyone" group. This shows the iview for the new user, but also is there for all the old users.
How do we differntiate between the new users (who dont have any roles) and already existing users?? (is there any available group)??
Please respond. Thanks.
Hari

Put some logic in the iView so that if the user has any other roles the message is not displayed...
Cheers

Disaply the all the roles for page, iview and workset

Hi Guys,
I have a strange requirement. i need to display all the users that have access to a particular iview, page and workset. can anyone help me out with this.
-Thanks

Hi,
Any iview or page or workset should be part of role. SO if user has access to a particular role, he will have access to the portal objects inside that role as well. So the way to go is you can get all the roles, check iViews, pages etc. If iViews or pages match, then save the role to arraylist. Now check the users who are assigned to these roles in arraylist. That may work.

Role Assignment IView

How do I enable Delegated User Admin on the role management IView. The checkACL property is not available. I am using the sneak preview installation of the portal not 6.0 sp2. I can find the property in sp2 but not in this installation.
Thanks,
Wael Aoudi

I use EP6.0 SP9 on NW4 and there is an extra role Delegated User Admin. And it's true - there is no checkACL property on Role Assignment iView. It seems that the new role replaces the property.

Need to delet or assign individual roles without changing all existing role

Hi
I am looking for a way in order to delete or add single roles without touching all other roles a user has.
I found various BAPI_USER_* , however they always change the entire role assignment.
Does anybody got an idea or an associated BAPI`?
Thanks a lot,
Kind regards,
Mingolo

Hello Minima
The corresponding BAPI is BAPI_USER_ACTGROUPS_ASSIGN. In to delete only specific roles you first have to read the assigned roles of the user using BAPI BAPI_USER_GET_DETAIL.
Now here the procedure:
(1) Read the assigned roles for a given user using BAPI_USER_GET_DETAIL. The roles are returned in TABLES parameter ACTIVITYGROUPS.
(2) Delete the role you want to unassigned from ACTIVITYGROUPS.
(3) Change the user using BAPI_USER_ACTGROUPS_ASSIGN with the modified list of roles (in ACTIVITYGROUPS).
The logic behind this is as follows:
- the BAPI BAPI_USER_ACTGROUPS_ASSIGN compared the imported list of roles with the currently assigned roles.
- If one is missing, it is unassigned.
- If one is new, it is assigned.
- All others role assignements remain.

BI iviews not working without super admin role in portal

Hi all,
I have published reports to the portal from BI and then created Bex iviews using the querystrings and attached iviews to roles.
They all run with my user ID which has super admin access.
But for the end users the we get a portal runtime error when he tries to view the report through iview.
Portal runtime error.
An exception occurred while processing your request. Send the exception ID to your portal administrator.
Exception ID: 06:24_31/03/11_0185_2598150
Refer to the log file for details about this exception.
If I give superadmin role to the end user the iviews run fine.
Please tell me how to access this iview without superadmin role.
Regards;
Anzar

When it works with super admin rights but not with end-user permission, it's a permission problem. Have you tried to find out where the user is missing the necessary permissions?
- iView
- PCD
- security zone
- Access to backend (BI server)
- BI query

Jalyn Liang ,
You can find if the user id belong to a particular group with the following ways,
Log in as an admin and go to User Admin -> Users- > Seach -> Enter the user Id and serach for the user -> Select the 5th icon with the tool tip ->Assigned Groups"
or
User Admin -> Group -> Search for the group.
or
You can use UME API to find out whether the is belowng to a group though coding.

Calling a Webdynpro Iview from a Web Page

Hi guys we are trying to display a custom webdynpro iview in a web page.
when the user clicks on a link on the left side navigation in the webpage it is supposed to open the webdynpro iview in an Iframe in the same window beside the left navigation area. but we are getting a warning message before the iview is opened.
an error occured while starting the iview Application/webdynpro/dispatcher/sap.com/pb/PageBuilder:jsessionid=(J2EE3062800)ID484538950DB11873745832264248987END will run with a wrong client window ID!
and when we click on ok the iview is displayed in the IFrame
to open the iview we are using an URL of the format
http://<Server>:<Port>/irj/portal?NavigationTarget=navurl://8bc08160d466f592c481da5639ca31e9&NavMode=3
can any one tell me why we are getting this message and how to remove it.

Hi Praveen
The iview is assigned to a portal role and we even have some authorisation objects assigned in R3, so only the users who have access to the role should be able to see the iview and the content they see in the iview is limited depending on the assigned authorisation objects.
if we use the link
http://<server_name>/webdynpro/dispatcher/local/myWebDynProProject/Helloapplication
every one will be able to access the iview and they will be able to see all the content.
when the user clicks on the link he should login with his id and password so that the authorisation objects are checked agaist his id. If we use the above link the user will be logged in with a test ID and the authorisation objects will not work.

How to create new user and How can i assign end user roles

Hi,
I am new to SAP, please explain how to create end users and their roles
Thanks
ravi

Hi,
Roles are decided by IT managers. Suppose if Persons who are working in shopfloor or production side
give authorization to Production order create , change and Confirm like that etc
1. In role maintenance (transaction PFCG), choose the Authorizations tab page.
2. To change the authorization data for the transactions assigned to the role, choose Change Authorization Data or Expert Mode for Profile Generation. Otherwise, a dialog box appears in expert mode (see Regenerating an Authorization Profile After Changes).
Please take telp from Basis person also refer this link,

Get iViews from Role

Hi
I want to find out on which page a specific iViews is used, that means, where in the (user specific) navigation the iView will be displayed.
When I traverse the navigation nodes, I get with getName() something like "ROLES://portal_content/folder/page". The problem is, I don't know which iViews lie on that page. How can I get them?
When I find a role (IPortalRole object) in the PCD, I don't know what to do with it - is has no method I can use to get access to its content. Is there any way to do so?
Thank you!
Tobias

Hi Tobias,
In your posts there seems 2 things you want to do:
(1) Find objects in a role.
The objects are just subcontexts within the role context, so you can do something like this:
Hashtable env = new Hashtable();
env.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY, Context.PCD_INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY);
env.put(Context.SECURITY_PRINCIPAL, request.getUser());
env.put(Constants.REQUESTED_ASPECT, IPcdAttribute.PERSISTENCY_ASPECT);
InitialContext iCtx = null;
try {
iCtx = new InitialContext(env);
IPcdContext myPcdContext = (IPcdContext) iCtx.lookup("");
javax.naming.NamingEnumeration myEnum = myPcdContext.search("portal_content/DanielContent/DanRole",null);
This returns an enumeration of javax.naming.SearchResult objects, which are the worksets, pages and iViews in the role. You would have to continue to traverse the PCD tree -- that is, do a search of each of these objects to get all the pages and iViews inside these.
(2) Find all objects based on a specific portal component. You could do a similar thing by searching but with attribute filters, something like this:
javax.naming.directory.Attributes myAttrs = new javax.naming.directory.BasicAttributes();
myAttrs.put("com.sap.portal.private.iview.PropertiesUrl","pcd:com.sap.portal.system/applications/HelloWorldProject/components/HelloWorld");
myEnum = myPcdContext.search("portal_content",myAttrs);
The first problem with this is that it only searches the current level. There are other standard JNDI search methods that allow you to specify that you want to search all subnodes, but I have not been able to get it to work for PCD.
The second problem is that I cannot search on CodeLink (which is a PCM attribute) -- I can only search on PCD attributes. So I searched on com.sap.portal.private.iview.PropertiesUrl, but I am not sure this is reliable.

Check a group assigned to which role

Hi,
I have a group called as "GroupOne". There are no roles/users assigned to this. Now, how can we check whether any roles has added group "GroupOne" to its Assigned Groups under Identity Management.
I know its a silly question, but I am not able to figure it out.
Regards,
Vaibhav

Generally users will be added to a relevant groups and each group will be added to the corresponding roles. This is a general practice.
Some times groups will be added to other groups as child groups where they will inherit the roles.
So when you go to a group and try to check the roles without using the search recusively check box option, it will display diect roles that are assigned to the group.
IF you check the check box recursivey and search then you will get all direct and indirect roles inherited from othere groups as well.
