Controlling visibility of Second Level navigation tabs in portal

Hello,
I have a request to create second level navigation based on user authorizations. The first level nav is called Applications, the second level navs under it are called SAP and BI. I only want to show SAP for some users and BI for others, and in some cases both.
When I created workset Application and assigned SAP and BI worksets under it, no matter that what authorization I give or not give to the user, both of them show up, unless I remove the role for Application worset, then nothing shows up.
If I remove SAP and BI worksets from Application workset, no matter what I do with roles, they do not show up. I kinda guessed that this will happen but just tried something anyway.
Can someone please explain who this can be done or is it not possible?
Thanks,
Alex

Hi Alex,
The navigation structure does not depend on authorizations but only on the roles assigned to the user (directly or through groups).
For your structure, you would create two roles, one SAP role and one BI role. Both roles start with an RoleFolder "Applications" as the role EntryPoint, where the child of this node within the SAP role is the SAP workset and the child of this node within the BI role is the BI workset. To get them merged, you will have to maintain the mergeID property on the corresponding elements; see http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/53/89503ede925441e10000000a114084/frameset.htm for details of the merging concept and properties (that is what you are looking for).
Hope it helps

    Any clues please.
    Thanx and regards,

    Hi
    As posted above, this could be an issue with TLN level. To reset TLN level, check out this [link|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/EN/5a/33befa45ca7f459b24d0c5d51d0749/frameset.htm].

    Hi,
    Normally it becomes bold if a user clicks on any workset

    For color changing you can do it by customizing the masthead par.

  • Second level navigation menu not highlighted

    Hello Experts,
    We have a par file which is redirecting to a third party website from portal using Response.sendRedirect.Here the issue is when the third party website opens in the same window in portal,second level navigation menu is not getting highlighted,its still highlighting the previously selected menu.We are on EP6 SP16.
    Thanks in advance,
    Suresh

    Hi Suresh,
    I guess that's because you are just redirecting the page & this doesn't refresh the Navigation nodes.
    Hence just try adding the below code before redirection.
    refreshPage() ;
    function refreshPage() {
    try {
    frameworkSupport.refreshContentArea();
    } catch(e) {
    document.location.reload()
    Redeploy and check. I think it should work.

  • IView from second level navigation merged with Other page

    Hi All,
    I encountered a typical problem with iViews.
    I have second level navigation with links as AAA,BBB,CCC (work sets) added to the Role-1.
    CCC is a work set which is been added with pages CCC-1,CCC-2,CCC-3. (CCC-1,CCC-2,CCC-3 are also added to detailed level navigation).
    Now on clicking of CCC (second level navigation link), I have page displaying with CCC-1 (which is working as desired).
    Now I have page DDD wh.ich is directly to the Role-1. Hence now second level navigation is displaying as AAA,BBB,CCC,DDD on clicking on Role -1 .
    Now when I click on CCC, while displaying the contents of CCC-1, DDD (page) is also displaying beneath of the CCC-1.
    I don't want this DDD merging with CCC-1.
    Can any one help me, how to resolve this issue.
    Thanks in Advance,
    Chinna.

    Hi,
    Just a thought : you could create a new workset and put DDD in it and see if that helps.

  • Problem in second level navigation for some users.

    Hello friends,
                    We have a group with few users, we have assigned certain roles to that group, all the roles are visible to all but the order of second level navigatin has changed for some users and not for all. Please suggest some solution.
    Thanks,
    Mitts

    Hi Mittal,
    Is there any merging of roles going on?
    When you assign new roles, does the 2nd level navigation contain the same nodes but in a different order, or are there additional nodes added?
    Perhaps you can explain in more detail the set up.

  • Top-Level Navigation Tab Image

    In the top-level navigation it allows you to assign background colors for the tab colors when selected or not selected. However, you can reference an image with a unique path in this field. So when the top-level navigation renders it displays an image, gradient for example instead of a background color. I did this a while back but cannot locate this information. If someone has done this before and can provide this information that would be great.
    --KAL

    I just tested it, and did not manage to make it work.
    I am in the Portal Outer Frame  > Top-Level Navigation > Unselected Tabs of First Level > Background Color of Unselected Tabs
    and this is the value I use :
    background:url(http://<host>:port/irj/go/km/docs/documents/SDN/my_image.png)
    Am I missing something ? Do I have to create a par file for this ?

  • Show Portal Sub-Role on Second Level Navigation

    Hi Experts,
    We have a requirement, to embed some of our portal roles within some master roles.
    Issue
    I have a role called Parent_Role on the portal
    Then I have two other child roles:
    Child1_Role
    Child2_Role
    Now if I add Child1_Role and Child2_Role as sub roles to the Parent_Role, and then assign the Parent_Role to my User ID,  I see both Child1_Role and Child2_Role on the first level of Top Level Navigation. However, I don't see Parent_Role on TLN.
    What I need to do is, have Child1_Role and Child2_Role show up on the second level of navigation, and have Parent_Role show up on the first level of navigation.
    Is this possible?
    Thanks!
    Max

    HI Max,
    Ideally this is what happens what you have requested for , Can you check whether the entry point is yes for you Parent Role.
    1.) Create a Parent Role and make entry point "yes".
    2) Assign the child roles to the Parent Role.
    3) Assign the Parent role to the User.
    This should work fine.
    Thanks

  • Top-level navigation tabs shape

    Hi,
    I need to have rounded tabs in th top level navigation, can anyone tell me if there is a easy way to do this??
    Thanks in advance,

    Hi Marysol,
    Did you find the documentation? Do you have additional questions on the navigation tag library?
    Also, when you first looked for the documentation, what was the problem that caused you not to find it? How would it be better to organize the documentation?

  • Top level navigation problem anonymous portal

    Hi everybody,
    We have an anonymous portal with named anonymous users.
    When you log on in the portal with a normal user, the top level navigation works fine and all the content is displayed.
    When you log on in the portal with an anonymous user, all the content is displayed, the top level navigation works.
    But when you press e.g.: the second tab in the top level navigation, you can see the right content, but the tab is not highlighted. In the normal portal the tab is highlighted. The auth scheme of my top level navigation iview is set to anonymous.
    Did I forgot to set a standard sap iview to anonymous or something?
    Kind regards,
    David De Kerpel

    Hi,
    You have the following options to solve this problem as suggested by SAP:
    1. Disable the short urls feature. Go to System Administration --> Navigation --> Short URLs, set the "Use short URLs" to false, save the configuration and restart the J2EE Engine.
    2. Log in as a standard user (not anonymous) and navigate to all iViews/pages that will be viewed by anonymous. Navigating to an iView/page or a navigation node means that you can see a link to it in the TLN or DTN.
    3. Deploy the PAR file attached in the SAP Note 913367, which fixes the problem.

  • How to hide name of Role from the top level navigation of the portal

    Hi Experts,
    In my project, I have created 2 roles Role A and Role B. These roles have been assigned to User X.
    When user X logs in, he is able to see name of role that is 'A' in the top level navigation.
    As per the requirement, user X should not see the 'A'.
    Rather user X should see following:
    Top Level Navigation: 'My Work'
    When user clicks on 'My Work', he should see
    'My Sub Work1' and 'My Sub Work2'.
    After that under 'My Sub Work1' user should see following
    All Objects of Role A
    All Objects of Role B
    Name of role i.e. 'A' or 'B' should not be displayed at all at any place in navigation.
    Only whatever objects  has been assigned to Role A and B should be displayed in detailed navigation area.
    Can you please let me know how to achieve this?
    Pictorial Diagram:
                      My Work       (In top level navigation)
    My Sub Work1    My Sub Work2    (In top level navigation)
    _________Objects of role
    A
           |
           |_________Objects of role
                                   B
    Please note that 'My  Work' and 'My Sub Work1' and 'My Sub Work2) are not roles. They are just the name of folders.
    Can you please let me know how to achieve it?
    Regards,
    Brian

    Hi Brian,
    Try the following steps.
    1. Change the 'Entry Point' property of Roles A and B to 'No'.
    2. Create a role folder called 'My Work' under A and B.
    3. Set the 'Entry point' property of this folder to 'Yes'.
    4. Set the 'merge id' property of the folder as "mywork" (or any other string) under both roles A and B.
    5. Under 'My Work' in Role A,
    a. Set the 'Merge Priority' property to 50.
    b. create subfolder 'My sub work1' and create all your objects.
    6. Under 'My Work' in Role B,
    a. Set the 'Merge Priority' property to 100.
    b. create subfolder 'My sub work2' and create all your objects.
    7. Make sure the user is assigned both the roles A and B. Only then he/she can see objects of both the roles.
    8. One thing to remember while merging folders is that, all the entities that are being merged should be at the same level. For eg: in our case, you cannot merge 'my subwork1' in role A, with 'my work' in role B.

  • How to move Top-Level Navigation tabs from left to center side

    Hi,
    Is there a way to modify the TLN tabs to display on the center side instead of the left? (as if it were a align = center in the code of table)
    I tried to change printLevel1Table and printLevel functions in toplevelnavigation.js.org file, but it not work.
    Please tell me which jsp or par file I need to modify this.
    Thanks so much in advanced

    Hi Dario Laurora ,
    Yes TLN tabs can be made to displayed with center alignment. Try analyzing the code of TLN.
    Have a look at this link http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/a0b25512-07c8-2a10-4289-b45a3333b869 and http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/index?rid=/library/uuid/c0a1aea5-a2d1-2a10-c6bc-953bdadfdcb8  and  http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/index?rid=/library/uuid/6066b302-09c8-2a10-a894-eb9fef30df85 This will help you in understanding how TLN are made to displayed .Everything is controlled by CSS.Though the link concentrates single level of TLN hovel menu, it will surely help you in achieving you requirement.

  • Top Level Navigation Tabs

    Is there a way to round out the corners of the tabs in the TLN?

    Hi Kathleen,
    it depends which framework page / which TLN iView you use. The design is quite straight forward if you are using the light framework page with the light TLN iView which uses the NavTagLib. In the corresponding JSP, you can easily add the HTML layout you would like to use.
    In the standard framework page with it's standard TLN iView implementation, this is a bit more complicated for the update of the TLN is done by JS. The table is built within toplevelnavigation.jsp but filled dynamically through JS (in toplevelnavigation.js, functions printLevel1Table/printLevel2Table).
    Hope it helps
