PCD Filter on Worksets

Question

Dear Experts,
We have a requirement wherein we need to restrict access to worksets within a portal role based on the department. We followed steps as given below:
At the Role level
1) Create property for Role with id com.mindtree.portal.pcd.gl.FilterAssignment.
2) Assign value com.mindtree.GroupFilter to this property.
At the workset level
1) Create property for Role with id com.mindtree.group.
2) Assign value "Admin" to this property.
We created a component following the article [Filtering Portal Content Based on User Attributes|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/index?rid=/library/uuid/5021a57d-0601-0010-6097-ec94a09c626d].
But still the workset is visible to all employees and is not getting filtered based on the department.
Please suggest.
Best Regards

Dear Prashant,
Thanks for writing.
I'm using IUSER to fetch the user department.
Please find the code for getObjectInstance below:
          String filterExpression = "";
          env.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY,IPcdContext.PCD_INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY);
          env.put(Constants.REQUESTED_ASPECT, PcmConstants.ASPECT_SEMANTICS);
          IUser user = (IUser) env.get(IPcdContext.SECURITY_PRINCIPAL);
          boolean superAdmin = false;
          // Get the role associated with the role name super_admin_role
          IRole role = null;
          String roleName = "super_admin_role";
          IRoleFactory rfact = UMFactory.getRoleFactory();
          try
               role = rfact.getRoleByUniqueName(roleName);
          catch (UMException e)
               log.severe("FILTER SERVICE: Error = " + e.toString());
          //check to see if the user is a member of the super admin role, if so, set superAdmin = true
          if(user.isMemberOfRole(role.getUniqueID(),true))
               superAdmin = true;
          if (user != null)
               String dept = user.getDepartment();
               if(dept==null)
                    dept="none";
               //override to check if the user is a member of the super admin role
               if (!superAdmin)
                    if ((dept != null) && (!dept.equals("")))
                         filterExpression = "(|(" + CountryFilterService.ATTRIBUTE_KEY + "=" + dept + ")(" + CountryFilterService.ATTRIBUTE_KEY + "=ALL))";
          return filterExpression;
Please let me know if you need some other details.
