Assigning Portal Users to Groups

Hi,
Is there a way we can assign portal users to portal groups through a sql or through a form interface? Right now, it is only possible to create users and go into individual groups and assign users to them. If a user should belong to multiple groups, then we need to go into each and every group and assign the user. Instead of this, is it possible to write a query or create a form interface and assign the user to all groups that he belongs to?
Thanks for your response.

Dear Hassan,
Need a clarification. If users are assigned to a group in LDAP, Can you see the same thing reflecting in portal?
I have configured LDAP as UME and I am able to see a group of LDAP appearing in Portal. But when I see the list of users assigned to this group, its empty.
Any clues or suggestions.
Regards,
Sreeram

  • Assignment of users to groups in portal based on some filter criteria

    Hi All,
    I have some 200 users in portal and the UME is portal database. Now I want to assign 50 users who belong to a specific department to a new group in portal.
    Unfortunately during the assignment of users to groups there is no advanced search option where I can search for the users based on some criteria like department,organisation unit,first name etc. We can only search for the user based on user id or name.
    How can we do a mass assignment of users to groups based on filter?
    Any suggestions / solutions are highly appreciated. Points are rewarded for sure.
    thanks

    Hi Sreeram,
    three possibilities:
    1.) Develop a small component which does a search based on the criteria you want to use and which then assigns the found users to the group in question. Not really hard, but every development takes some time to develop, some time to test. So if you really want this actione done just once, development may take too long; if the scenario may happen more often, it may make sense to have such a component ready.
    2.) Search for the users based on the criteria you want to use via the portals UI. Copy the result into some wordpad, and assign all results afterwards manually, as you have described. Ugly, but (for a one-time action) faster than 1.).
    3.) Start like 2.), but use the copied result within the wordpad to "import" the group definition via a text file, see http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/1a/cde2fb82644d98bfb6d558440d6806/frameset.htm and around. Probably the fastest and most efficient way to go!
    Hope it helps

  • BI : Portal User roles & groups

    Hi Experts,
    I have below doubt.
    when we login into the SAP - NetWeaver portal , in the portal management screen. under the tab user administartion,  when we enter the user say maxis , we actually see the various tabs which describes the respective details reg the user. There are are two tabs under the detail section of it ; Assigned Roles and Assigned Groups.
    say for user Maxis , under the assigned roles , want to know that there is below assigned role : 
    pcd:portal_content/com.sap.zttcbi/com.sap.zroles/com.sap.zsalesreports
    and under the assigned groups , there is below assigned group :
    SAP_BW_SBO_SM
    Want to know how and where to create this assigned roles and groups.
    Kindly advise ,
    Thanks & regards,
    M.S

    Hi,
    The groups are created as mentioned above, it is basically to group the users from a department or to group them with respect to permissions etc.
    Refer to the help document to learn more on the same.

  • Creation of Portal users and group assignments

    Hi, everyone. My company just completed a load of some 2000 E-Business suite users into our new portal and have given them group assignments according to payroll. I had gathered a number of routines into a PL/SQL package in order to do this. These came from several sources in these forums, on Metalink, and other places on the internet. I was wondering if anyone would be interested in having it. A lot of it was rewritten on the fly, and I should probably clean it up a bit, but it would have saved me some time if someone had offered it to me. Is there a good place to post things like this? I'm sure that better ways exist to do some of these things than what I used, and I would be interested in some of the experts' comments.
    Anyway, let me know if you are interested.

  • Administration Portal user and group managent performace issue

    Hi
    I have implemented a custom IPlanet LDAP authentication provider which provides
    a realization for the needed authentication, group and user management interfaces
    (UserReader, UserEditor, GroupReader, GroupEditor).
    The authentication provider itself seems to work fine, but I think I found a possible
    performance problem in the WebLogic Administration Portal, when I studied the
    authentication framework by remote debugging. Response times (with just one simultaneous
    user) are quite long (over 8 seconds) with 40 groups on the same hierarchy level
    on the Users, Groups and Roles tree. I'm developing with P4 processor and 1 Gb
    ram (512 Mb allocated for WLS)
    After little debugging I found out that every time a node in the group tree is
    dlicked isMember() method of the authentication provider gets called n * (n -1)
    times, where n is the number of visible groups in the hierachy tree. '
    What happens is that for each group, the membership of all the other visible groups
    is checked by the isMember(group, member, recursive), method call. Even the usage
    of a membership cache in this point didn't speed up the rendering noticeably.
    By placing a break point in the isMember() method and studying the call stack,
    one can see that all the isMember() calls are made during the rendering performed
    by the ControlTreeWalker. For example if there is 40 groups visible in the tree,
    the isMember() method gets called 1600 times. This seems quite heavy. With a
    small number of groups per hierarchy level this problem might not be serious,
    but in case where there would be over 30 000 customer companies using the portal
    and each having their own user groups, it could be an issue.
    The problem does not occur with WebLogic console and browsing of groups and users
    (using the same authentication provider) is fast with it. When a user is selected
    from the user list and the Groups tab is checked, the Possible Groups and Current
    Groups list boxes will get populated. When debugging this sequence, one can see
    that only the listGroups() method of the authentication provider is called once
    per list box and the order of method calls is of order n (rather than n^2 which
    is the case with the Administrator Portal).
    Has anyone had similar problems with Administrator Portal's performance?

    You're correct about the performance degradation issue. This is being

  • Example of creating a valid LDAP user and group in the Portal tree

    I need to create (via bulk LDIP or API) fresh users AND groups into OID that can be used by Portal. In theory it sounds easy - just create an appropriate LDIF file.
    What is the best way to achieve this?
    I don't the know the structure that should be used in the LDIF file that would create the correct structure held for all the Portal users and groups in OID.
    I've looked through the OID admin and dev guides but am still confused as to what exactly I have to do. It seems that Portal accounts are synchronised by a method called Provisioning.
    All I want to do is bulk upload Portal compatible users into the repository.
    Can somebody please assist.
    Cheers,

  • Assigning Users to Groups on LDAP thru EP

    Hi,
    I have configured EP6 SP7 with multiple LDAP(MS-ADS)servers. I can read/write the groups and users to LDAP through EP. But i cannot assign the users to groups through Enterprise Portal. Also if i assign users to a group in LDAP on LDAP server itself, these assignments does not show up in the portal. do i have to configure my dataSourceConfiguration_multiLDAP_db.xml file? if so then which parameter?

  • MAJOR Open Directory issue: Can't assign Users and Groups that DO exist!

    Just noticed the following today:
    When doing Get Info -> Permsissions on files/folders located on my File Server share, Owner and Group show as (unknown).
    When I go into WGM -> Sharing, and look at files/folders on File Server share this way, the Owner and Group fields are blank.
    When I attempt to (re)assign an Owner or Group by dragging them from Users and Groups section of WGM, error tells me User or Group no longer exists. These Users and Groups clearly do exist in WGM -> Accounts.
    When I look at files on File Server share via CLI, instead of actual names for Users and Groups, I see their uid and gid's. Chowning via CLI fails as well.
    I've noticed all Users and Groups with this issue are OD.
    Server is xServe G4 DP 1.0 GNz/1 GB RAM/Mac OS X Server 10.4.7 Unlimited. This servers been running fine as an OD Master for months now. ACL's are enabled on this File Server share point. I've always had weird permissions issues, but NEVER the inability to assign OD Users and Groups to files/folders.
    I'm at a loss here, not to mention my wits end.
    Did my OD become corrupted?
    Any and all help would greatly appreciated.

    When doing Get Info -> Permsissions on files/folders located on my File Server share, Owner and Group show as (unknown).
    This means that the Finder can't find a match in the accounts/groups database for the numeric UID assigned to those files. Either the records associated to those accounts have been deleted, or the database is corrupt. In either case, you should restore a copy of it from backup.

  • WLS Users and Groups interface questions / observations

    I'm new to WLS, having just installed OBIEE 11g for the first time. There are some oddities in WLS around setting up Users that I'd like to ask about, to see if I'm just missing something, or if the interface really IS this bad. Please feel free to comment in any way, or to correct any statements that are erroneous. Here goes:
    1. The use of Previous and Next buttons instead of a vertical scroll bar for finding users and groups in their respective lists. What if you have several hundred users, and the one you want to modify starts with the letter 'Z'? That means clicking the Next button several dozen times. (Security Realms … myrealm … Users and Groups … Users) Not only is there no scroll bar, there's no search box either. The only way to get to a user near the end of the alphabetical listing is the Next button. Is that correct?
    2. After adding a new user, what's the next most logical thing to want to do? How about assigning that user to Groups? So why do I have to click Next several times to find that new user in the alphabetical list? I don't see a sortable 'Date Modified' field for the table of users, nor a link to the "Most Recently Added" user. Nor can I assign groups during the same action as creating the user. In the example in #1, I might have to click Next several dozen times to get to the user I just added. Is that correct?
    3. When creating a new User, immediately after clicking New, where is the most likely place that I'd want to go? How about the Name field? Right now, the cursor rests in some indeterminate location. I have to hit the Tab key 14 times, or move the mouse into the Name box and click it. The active cursor position does not default to the Name box when creating a new user. Is that correct?
    4. I don't see a 'Create Like' button for creating Users, so that existing group membership can be easily replicated. I'd like to be able to add a new employee by clicking to highlight an existing user from the same department, clicking a 'Create Like' button, then entering a new user name and password, with all group memberships assigned automatically based on the source user. The same could be said for replicating groups. I don't think that exists. Is that correct?
    5. I don't see a clean way to return to the User list on the page on which I clicked a user name. Imagine that I'm going through my entire list of users one at a time to set an attribute. I click on the user JSMITH and set the attribute. The only way to get back to JSMITH's page and select the next user list is to hit the browser's back button three times, or to click the Users and Groups breadcrumb at the top of the screen and use the Next link multiple times to find that page again. Is that correct?
    6. I don't see a way to bring up a Group and assign Users to it from a list. It appears that the only way to assign a User to a Group is to access a User profile and click Groups. If we're creating a new group that has 200 users selected from a list of 500 users, that could potentially represent somewhere between 5000 and 10000 mouse clicks. It would be much more efficient to be able to bring up a group, then select its members from a list of users. That does not appear to be possible. Is that correct?
    7. It also appears that when assigning groups for Users, the list of Available Parent Groups sorts the lowercase entries after all uppercase entries, so that groups that start with the letter 'a' fall after groups that start with 'Z'. That is not the case with the list of users. The User table uses a case-insensitive sort. Is that correct?
    8. When I want to delete more than one User, and the ones that I want to delete are on different pages, there appears to be no way to select those users from multiple pages at the same time. So, imagine that I have 500 users, and I want to delete two users, one of whom is listed on page 48, and the other on page 50. I would have to click the Next button 47 times to find the first user and delete it. At that point, the interface returns to page 1, and I have to click the Next button 49 times to reach the second user. Is that correct?

    Hi,
    Regarding your first question, you might want to press the "Customize this table" button, then select the maximum allowed amount of rows in "Number of rows displayed per page:" that would resolve some of the problems you're having with the interface. I do think this is not a great graphical tool, and there are some usability issues.
    Regarding the adding of users to groups, it seems the way you describe is the only way of doing it, however you could try using a script instead of the graphical console, the easiest way of making it is adding a user to a group while using the "Record" button on the top of the screen to get a wlst script to use as a model, then create a new script with all new users you want to add/modify.

    Franco.

    Can anybody help me regarding this.
    Help appreciated
    Thx

    Hi Pradeep.,
    1. add a new 'IF' rule.
    2. Edit it in the edit section (above the 'IF's part) to 'user' (in the dropdownlistbox) = <userid> (free text).
    3. Press 'Apply'.
    4. Edit the 'Then' section of the new IF to show the new portal desktop. You can add the full desktop's id by right clicking on it in the 'browse content' section if the screen (where you opened the Display Rule from) and choosing 'add portal desktop to expression'.
    5. Press 'Apply'.
    6. Move your 'IF' up. Display rules are evaluated from top to bottom until the first one that applies.

    You can assign the roles to users and groups as below.
    1. Select the System Administration in the top level navigtion
    2. Select user administration
    3. You can search for a specific user or a group from this iView.

    5. Search for the role in the search iView.
    6. Add the role to the user of group and save.

  • How to map Portal User groups to a MDM System?

    Hi,
    Have anyone tried mapping portal user group to a MDM System?
    The idea is to avoid each user to do user mapping for MDM of their own.
    When i look into the usermapping section of a portal user group, it shows me a message -
    "There are no systems available for user mapping for the selected principal"
    Thanks and best regards,
    Arun prabhu S

    Hi All,
    Got it!
    1. Create portal users,
    2. Create a portal user group,
    3. Assign Users to User group,
    4. Go to System Administration, edit permission of the MDM system, add the user group to the MDM system permission list and save
    5. Go to User Management, modify the user grooup, go to the User mapping of the user group and do mapping for MDM system and user group using a valid MDM User name and password and Save
    6. In User Management, modify the Portal role for MDM , add the user group to the role and save
    7. Edit permission of the role object, add the user group to the permission list and save
    Result:
    All the users assigned to the user group will be able to access MDM information on the portal correspond to the MDM mapping done at the user group level. This avoids self user mapping in personalization link.

  • Subcribe a Portal User Group to content change events on page?

    Another developer at my shop has created a custom routine that programmatically subscribes the given user to content change events on a page. At the heart of their custom routine are the following Oracle Portal API calls:
    portal.wwctx_api_private.set_context( v_user );
    portal.wwsbr_app_approval.subscribe
    p_object_context_id => v_siteid,
    p_page_id => v_pageid
    ...where v_user is the account we want to subscribe for notification of content changes on the given page.
    I have a need to extend this to allow subscriptions of Portal User Groups (PUGs) for the same content change events. It is not acceptable to statically subscribe the PUG membership, because I do not want a situation where today I subscribe all the members of group X, then tomorrow the membership of group X changes, but the list of subscribed users does not change automatically with the group membership modification. I could just as well manually subscribe each group member without going through the hassle of coding a modified subscription UI and backend routine to handle groups.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks,

    My shop is currently on 10g R1 (9.0.4.3). We will be upgrading to 10g R2 (10.1.2) in a few months, but this is not the 10.1.4 version your document link points to. Is CMEF included actually usable in 10.1.2?
    Also, publish and subscribe solves a particular set of design issues and allows for a certain degree of flexibility of usage, however, I don't see any built-in support for the User Groups that Portal provides for assigning basic page permissions. It's the group support that I'm interested in...and I don't want to have to create duplications of groups outside of what I already have. I don't want to have to write an entire application infrastructure to support outside group membership maintenance just for supporting subscription notifications. This should have already been built-in to interface with the existing Portal page permissions group framework. At our shop, a lot of effort has already been put into setting up and maintaining these built-in groups and we should be able to re-use them for something as brain dead simple as subscription notification.
    I've already given up and opened an enhancement request "TAR" for this.
