Customising Serach Results based on User Groups

Hi,
Is it possible to customize the set of products an end user sees based on the group it belongs to?
I mean we have set of clients belonging to different groups each having their own product catalog, so based on the group, search
results have to be very specific. Is there a way to achieve this w/o having separate endeca instances?
Thanks.

You typically do this by translating custom catalogs and price lists into dimensions and catalog-specific properties so that the product set can be pre-filtered before applying search. I don't believe User Profiles will really give you what you want.
The way I typically think about it is that User Profiles influence the way in which users are presented with content but it doesn't have an effect on the content itself. We've worked on the largest custom catalog project undertaken on the platform (back in our days at Endeca) so feel free to reach out if you need more information.
Thanks,

Conditions based on user groups

Hi,
I am already using the authorization i dont want to make any changes.
I want to restrict the column using user group.
If my user group is admin or unique then display the item and if the user group helpdesk or test then dont display.
I am using condition: PL/SQL Function Returning boolean
declare
begin
return apex_util.current_user_in_group(p_group_name=>'admin');
end;
It is working fine for only admin group. If i need to display the column to either admin or uniqueuser group ,Then please could you advise the expression for that.
Regards
Harinder

Hello Harinder,
What about
return apex_util.current_user_in_group(p_group_name=>'admin') or apex_util.current_user_in_group(p_group_name=>'yourOtherGroup');

Controlling visibility of an iView based on User groups...how ?

Hi SDNs,
I am trying to achive a functionality like:
There is Page with 3 iViews A,B & C and that Page is assigned to some role R.
And there are 2 user groups X & Y and i will assign that Role R to both the user groups.
But the User group X should be able to see only iViews A & B, where as user group should Y should be able to all A,B & C iViews.
I thought of proceeding like controlling Permissions at the iView level for the groups X & Y, but i couldn't do that because i don't know how to do
Can any one suggest a best solution for achieving this kind of functionality ?
Thanks,
Trikanth

Hi All,
I just told example as A,B & C, actually i have more than 100 iViews and pages where i need to get this kind of functionality.
So i can't go with creating different pages for each group.
Thanks,
Trikanth

Custom Install of Acrobat, how to enable / disable Office plugin based on User group membership

Hi,
Just configuring Adobe Acrobat X (10.1.5) on Citrix Xenapp 6.5 (Win 2k8 R2)
I've set up a cusom install and have already removed the context menus and a few other bits and bobs.
I wondered if it was possible to essentially add the Office plugins in but only for certain users.
I've removed the plugins successfully by turning off the 5 / 6 features (IE, office , outlook etc)
Now I just wondered what files / registry entries I could create on login (using Group policy preferences etc) which will add the plugins back in.
Thanks
Chris

okay no replies yet but I've just removed the office / IE features for now, adding the context menu items in for specific users is working good enough at the moment. if anyone does know how to do this just reply to this at any point i'll pick the mail up.
thanks

Q1 :I have Html droplist with the following options
<Select>
<option value=" HR">HR</option>
<option value="FI">FI</option>
<option value ="QM">QM</option>
</select>
Now i need to select the value based on user group lets say if user belongs in HR the the default option is HR with user log in

HI
Q1: Check the role of user in IllumLoginRoles and set the value in html dropdown as
document.getElementById("ID").value = "HR"
write this code in onload event of page.
Q2: You can add items in iBrowser on creation event via javascript code.
but for this option also you have to use ant dummy query in background.

Viewing the mrp run output based on mrp groups

Hi, please advise how to view the mrp run result based on mrp groups? also advise how to run mrp on the basis of mrp groups?
thanks.

Hi,
Can you use MRP Controller instead MRP Group. Because you have option to view MRP result by MRP Controller in MD05.
And you can execute MRP based on MRP Contoller by using user exit M61X0001 in MD01.

How to only synchronize one specific LDAP user group with SAP?

Hi,
Hopefully this is the correct forum to post this in. I want to have continuous one-way synchronization of users from my LDAP server to my SAP central system. I've started configure in SAP using transaction SM59 and LDAP. Can I somewhere set that only one specific LDAP user group shall be transferred to SAP (they do not need to be assigned to any specific group, profile, role in SAP) - or should this be done on the LDAP server side (or is it at all possible)?
Correct me if I'm wrong, but the User Group field in the report RSLDAPSYNC_USER only concerns SAP user groups right? This would therefore not be sufficient since I want to select the users to synchronize based on user groups in the directory.
Thanks, Oscar

We've used a repository constant to specify the LDAP filter for reading users / groups from the LDAP target.
E.g. LDAP_FILTER_USERS (&(objectCategory=person)(objectClass=user))
Then we also have a constant for the LDAP_STARTING_POINT
For our AD Group Initial Load we filter according to these settings:
LDAP_FILTER_GROUPS = (objectclass=group)
LDAP_STARTING_POINT_GROUPS = ou=IDMManagedGroups,ou=Groups,dc=cfstest,dc=le,dc=ac,dc=uk
The above example only reads AD groups starting at the specified OU
Then in a Job From LDAP Pass the LDAP URL looks like this:
LDAP://%$rep.LDAP_HOST%:%$rep.LDAP_PORT%/%$rep.LDAP_STARTING_POINT_GROUPS%?*?SUB?%$rep.LDAP_FILTER_GROUPS%
I hope this helps

Style by user/group

I have 1 corporate portal page group, but we have 3 divisions. Each division has their own style settings. How can I set all pages in the page group to display with style of user's division
ex: div 1 style = div1mstrstyle (mostly green)
div 2 style = div2mstrstyle (mostly brown)
if a div 1 user signs on all their headers footers ect should be green, but if a div 2 user signs on they would be brown

hi,
it is not possible to have styles/templates based on users/groups.
however, here is an idea of how you could achieve this.
1. create 3 differnt page groups for each department. if you do not want to duplicate the content (items) you could have 1 page group to hold the content. in the division home pages you just reference the items from there and use the layout of the division home page to render it. 2 ways to do this:
- use the auto-query search portlet and query content from there
- use page portlets
2. creat 1 page group with 3 sub-pages. 1 for each division. you can apply a different layout for each folder (and sub-folders).

christian

Why do we change the user group when doing LSMW?

Hi experts,
I just wanted to know why do we change the user group Tcode SU3 when we are doing upload of data using LSMW?
Thanks,
JEss.

As Rajesh suggested if you are uploading data for action in which infotype group is based on User Group then you need to change User group.
Otherwise there is no need to change user group for using LSMW.

How to hide ribbon from all item view for particular user group

hi friends
how to hide ribbon from all item view of particular list for specific user group.
using OOB functionality or javascript.

Hello,
Use this codeplex tool to hide ribbon to user group:

UK LabView user group?

Is there any active UK-based LabView user group that has regular

can't see anything in the UK. I think it would be a good idea to get
one together, if one does not exist here.
Feedback welcome - please reply to newsgroup as email is disabled to

Hide sections in dashboard based on user's group

Hello everyone
May I know whether certain sections of the dashboard can be hidden using guided navigation based on user's group? Any links in this regard.. I appreciate.
Thanks in Advance

Hi,
guided navigation is the way to go. Now you need to think about the request which triggers guided navigation.
Now, You can't use dual in a normal request in OBIEE. So you need to use an existing column from a subject area:
1) Add for example column "Calendar Year" from your time dimension to your request.
2) Add the same column again to your request.
3) Click on the fx column of the second column, to change the formula.
4) Change the formula to: LOCATE('GroupName', VALUEOF(NQ_SESSION.GROUP))
The value of this column will be 0 when the user is not a member of GroupName and >0 when it is member of GroupName.
5) Add a filter on this column: LOCATE('GroupName', VALUEOF(NQ_SESSION.GROUP)) equals 0.
Check the results:
When user X is member of GroupName, the request will result no rows. When user X is no member of GroupName, it won't.
One note: when you use "A" as a groupname, you will get problems with this, because "A" is also in "Administrators".

Grouping of data based on user prompt having a list of dimensions

Hi All,
I have a requirement to be able to group data in OBIEE request or Dashboard based on user prompt selection.
The prompt should list the Dimensions Available
e.g.
Dimensions: Product, Region, Employee
Fact: Sales
The report is to display sales total for the quarters of the current year.
The user prompt should list the available dimensions (In this case - Location, Employee and Product).
If I choose Product, the data is to be grouped by Products - Layout having a simple tabular grouping with Product names as Group headings.
Similarly any other choice of Dimension from the prompt should group the data by that dimension and have the dimension values used in the group headings.
How could we implement this? I understand this type of requirement (ability to choose dimension) is met in some OLAP reporting tools.
I have used multiple views and the View Selector for similar requirements previously, but looking for a dynamic solution here.
Any pointers or solution will be great.
Thanks,
Kiran

Shared Calendars / Room Lists and automatically forcing them to users based on Security Group Membership

Good morning all,
I need some help achieving the following in our Exchange 2013 Environment. First off, we have Exchange 2013, but all our clients have Outlook 2010.
Here's what I would like to be able to do:
1) create/manage public calendars / rooms in exchange 2013
2) force these shared public calendars / rooms to users' calendars who are members of particular security groups
3) give edit permissions / "booking" permissions for the shared calendars so select users are able to make changes to the shared calendars, as well as accept/deny requests to "book" shared room calendars
Any one got any resources they can give to point me in the right direction?
I have already created two mailbox room resources, and have them set up in a room list in AD. But need to know the above as far as creating a shared calendar for events, and forcing these calendars / room lists out to users based on security group
membership.
I don't want my users to have to know how to add a shared calendar...that would be a nightmare explaining. I just want it to show up.
Any help on this is greatly appreciated, thank you!

1) I recommend using Room Mailboxes for resource calendars because it just works better.
2) This is a standard feature of a Room Mailbox.
3) You're pretty specific here, but I think this is also more or less available with a Room Mailbox combined with folder rights.
I don't know any way to just make them "show up". You'll have to teach them. Well written instructions can work wonders.

Pass variable and set default value based on user's group

Hello
I'm using SharePoint 2010 and SQL 2012. I need to send a variable to the page and based on its value, set default value for a drop down list and send it to other web part to filter the data. Is it possible for certain users to send that value as a default
and limit user to see only this value in the text field or drop down list; for others - to allow to see the drop down list, but also set the default value for that list?
The main page was designed in SharePoint designer, using web parts (aspx page). I had setup a connection to Active Directory and already have the code to get user's groups and based on their group, I have that variable pulled into the web page for further
use. But I don't know how to pass that value as a default value to the web part (currently using SharePoint Filter web part). When I tried to set a default value for the web part - it automatically puts the quotation marks around the name of the variable
and shows it as a text instead of showing the value of the field.
Thank you!
P.s. I have limited knowledge of SharePoint and need guidance (links, examples, recommendations)!
Alla Sanders

Thank you for your response. I'll try to give you more details. On PageA I check user's groups and based on the group, assign the value and pass it to the next page (no input from the user, all done behind the scene and user is redirected to PageB).
On the next page I read that value and would like to send it to the SharePoint List Filter Web as a default value, as well as send it to another web part that displays the list from SQL, filtered using that default value. Ideally, if the user is from Group
A, I'd like for them to have only one value in that drop down list; if user is from Group B - give him drop down list with 40 items to choose from. Below there is a part of the code and variable fnum has the value from PageA (if I print the value on the screen
- I do see that it has correct value, so the code that gets groups from Active directory works correctly). If I assign fnum as a default value of the list, it shows "fnum" instead of the value of variable fnum. I connect to SQL database, using external
content - so the other list that I'm filtering based on the value in that drop down list - is XSLT Data View Web part. I also have 2 more filters on that page, that user will have full access to and based on their input, it is also sent to the XSLT web part
to filter out more data. Since one of the filters is the date and I am filtering data starting from the date that user chooses - XSLT is the only web part that I was able to make it work with.
I looked at the link you provided (thank you). It is using Content Query Web part. Will it work with external content, as well as accepting multiple filtering, including custom starting date? I appreciate your help!
