Portal Navigational Role assignment/development

Hi
How can I achieve this portal requirement.
I have a Portal Navigational Role with work sets (4) assigned to it (Workset1, Workset2, Workset3 & Workset4)
I have different kinds of users
User1:
When the Portal Navigational Role is assigned, Only Workset1 should be visible
User2:
When the Portal Navigational Role is assigned, Only Workset2 should be visible
User3:
When the Portal Navigational Role is assigned, Only Workset3 should be visible
User4:
When the Portal Navigational Role is assigned, Only Workset4 should be visible
User5:
When the Portal Navigational Role is assigned, Only Work set 1 & 2 should be visible
User6:
When the Portal Navigational Role is assigned, Only Workset3 & 4 should be visible
User7:
When the Portal Navigational Role is assigned, all work sets should be visible
How can I achieve this

You can use the concept of merging to avoid multiple display of the role names on the top.
You can use a merge id and set a priority according to which the same level navigation nodes will be merged.
Check SAP Help for more information:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/53/89503ede925441e10000000a114084/frameset.htm
For your need, create:
Role1 for Workset1
Role2 for Workset2
Role3 for Workset3
Role4 for Workset4
(All Roles with same name if required).
And for all the worksets you can have a merge id with the same id.
So for example, when Roles 1 and 2 are assigned, you can see both the worksets under the same role name.
Thanks,
Shanti

Error while assigning portal custom role

Hi All,
We have a custom role which we use to assign to the users. till now we are able to assign it without any problem. But now as i need to assign it to someone, i got an error stating that "An error occured while adding user assignments; to see the correct status, perform a new assigned user search".
Can anybody help us in finding out the reason of the error and in rectifying the error.
Thanks & Regards,
Ravi

Hi Raghu,
Thanks for your reply..
This role is existing in the PCD, and this error is coming, while assinging this role any users... it is working fine with the existing users, who are having this role before. This is happening only when we are assigning this role to some new user.
I dont think this has some relation with the backend, as the role assignment is part of the Portal itself.
And also here we dont have seperate UME, and we are using r3 users only with single sign on.....
Hi Jithendar,
Thanks fo your reply.....I will do that backend roles check also for those users and see whether any backend role variations happened for these users.
Thanks & Regards,
Ravi

Automating Portal Role Assignment

Hi Everyone,
At my project we are looking to automate the process of Portal Role assignment.
With our current design, a user initially logs into the ISA and ICSS Portal as an anonymous Portal user. To view all content the user will be required to register himself on the portal. Once the user registers himself, a user record is created on the backend CRM system. Now when he tries to log into the portal with his new username and password he gets a blank screen because he has no Portal Roles assigned to him.
We need need to create Portal Roles for each CRM user. The new Portal Role will be based on user type in the CRM system. Since we have several users logging in and creating new accounts, we need to automate this process of mapping a CRM user to an appropriate Portal Role and then actually creating the Portal Role on the Portal.
Has some one does this before or has an idea how to do this?
Any help will be really appreciated...
Thanks!
Muhammad Osman Yousuf

Hi Michael,
Thanks for the help so far. Do you think the following mappings would work with the solution you recommended?
On the CRM side we have CRM_ROLE_A, CRM_ROLE_B, and CRM_ROLE_C and on the Portal sider we have PORTAL_ROLE_A and PORTAL_ROLE_B.
All mappings given are possible...
CRM_ROLE_A = PORTAL_ROLE_A
CRM_ROLE_B = PORTAL_ROLE_A and PORTAL_ROLE_B
CRM_ROLE_C = PORTAL_ROLE_B
Thanks!

Can portal role assignment be transported to another portal?

Hi, Gurus:
i need to transport portent, role, uses, etc from one portal (EP6 on NW04 )to another (EP7 on NW04s).
can you tell me that if portal role assignment can also be transported?
same question to ume role.
very confused at this area.
hope i can get your advice
Thank you
Br,
Nikko

Strictly speaking the user/group/role assignment is not part of the normal transport process in that it will not make those mappings when you transport the content to the next system in your architecture.
However - you can export users / groups which includes the mappings details. This can be used in your downstream systems.
Subsequent transports of objects do not "break" existing mappings.

No Portal Roles assigned issue

Hi Experts ,
We had recently integrated CRM with portal , but some users inspite of having the portal roles assigned to their id were getting an Access Denied page (we had customized the "no portal roles assigned " error page ) . Knowing the dependency of portal on IE and browser settings , this issue is sometimes resolved by clearing cache , cookies , and changing a few browser settings etc on IE 6.0 . If this doesn't work then upgrading to IE 7.0 definetly helps . Since this is just a workaround , I would like to know if anyone has experienced such a thing before and has a solution for this . Your inputs will be highly appreciated .
Regards
Mayank

Hi Mayank,
This is an error which happens when there is No roles assigned to the user. I am not sure how your systems are designed for User Management. Say for example in some cases LDAP is used to maintain Group to User Relationships and Portal Roles are connected to Groups therfore all users in the group is assigned to the Role. In some cases UME is used.
Having said that you can disable the cache for the browser. You have to compromise with the performance however, this will ensure that everytime the user logs in, the request will always go to the server.

Reg FPN Role assignment in consumer portal

Hi Team
We are trying to implement FPN between two portals both are EP7 SP20
i followed the basic steps like
1 establishing the trust between portals
2 regestration of producer portal in consumer portal
I am able to see the roles created in producer portal in consumer portal with the help of User administration--Identity management tool
the probelm we are facing is when i assign the role in consumer portal to a user it is not getting assigned but it is getting assigned in the producer portal
pls let what i need to do inorder for the producer role to be assigned to consumer portal user
thanks in advance

Hi,
already saw this several times. Unfortuantely, it never was a FPN error. It always was human error:
Confused by the Consumer / Producer concept the Admin created the role assignment in the producer and not in the consumer.
Just check that you are really using the consumer.
If so, consider opening up an OSS message.

Dynamic role Assignment in Portal using Web dynpro Java?

Hi All,
We have following requirement for dynamic role assignment.
1) User Login to Portal.
2) User Clicks on Home Tab in Portal, through RFC/BAPI, get Role from Backend(ECC) and compare the role ID with Portal Object ID through UME.
Role gets assigned in Portal after comparison, if it exists in Portal.
Can you please let me know what all steps I need to do to complete the above assignment.
Thank you
Ravi

Thanks Tobias.
To be precise I will explian my requirement.
1) User Login ( User ID will be input to RFC)
2) RFC will get Role for that user ID from Backend(ECC) and return that role ID to Portal.
3) Now With the help of UME API, need to search role ID in Portal, If it exists, no action.
If Role ID does not exists, then it shuld assign that role in Portal.
Sorry for tedious comment.
I am a bit new to webdyn pro.
Can you please tell me each step i need to follow to complete the above requirement.
Many Thanks,
Ravi

How to setup portal navigation

I am new to the portal and I am trying to setup the following portal navigation
Top Level - Reports
If user has been assigned the Sales Role, they should see under Detailed Navigation
Sales Reports
    Report1
    Report2
If user has been assigned the Purchasing Role, they should see under Detailed Navigation
Purchasing Reports
    Report3
    Report4
If a user has been assigned both the Purchasing and Sales Roles, they should see
Sales Reports
    Report1
    Report2
Purchasing Reports
    Report3
    Report4
I have tried using MERGE_ID but I get the Sales Reports and Purchasing Reports in the 2nd level navigation but I only want this folders to appear in Detailed Navigation. I just have not been able to figure out the correct MERGE_ID, Merge Priority and Entry Point configuration. Can someone please tell me what these values should be for the above setup? Thanks.
Ryan

Koti,
I still cannot get this to work
Reports1 (role) 1st level navigation   Entry Point = Yes
Reports2 (folder) 2nd level navigation    Entry Point = Yes   MERGE_ID = REPORTS2     Priority = 100
Sales_Reports (role)                             Entry Point = No       MERGE_ID = (blank)          Priority = 100
Sales Reports (folder)                         Entry Point = No      MERGE_ID = REPORTS2    Priority = 1
Purch_Reports (role)                             Entry Point = No      MERGE_ID = (blank)          Priotiy = 100
Purch Reports (folder)                        Entry Point = No       MERGE_ID = REPORTS2     Priority = 2
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks.

What is the mean of using Portal with Role Based security as entry point

Hi Experts we have requirement of integration of Portal and MDM
I am completely new to the MDM. So please give me some idea , what is the meanin for following points.
1) Using the Portal with Role Based security as entry point for capacity and Routing Maintaince(These two are some modules).
2) Additionally , Portal should have capability to enter in to the MDM for future master data maintence. Feeds of data will need to be come from SAP 4.6c
Please give me the clarity of what is the meanin of second point
Regards
Vijay

Hi
It requires the entire land scape like EP server and MDM server both should be configured in SLD.
Your requirement is maintaing and updating the MDM data with Enterprise portal.We have some Business Packages to install in Portal inorder to access the functionality of MDM.
Portal gives you a secure role based functionality of MDM through Single sign on (login into the portal access any application) to their end users.
Please go through this link
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_mdmgds55/helpdata/EN/45/c8cd92dc7f4ebbe10000000a11466f/frameset.htm
You need to develope some custom applications which should be integrated into the portal to access MDM Server master data
The estimation involves as per your requirement clearly
Its depends upon the Landscape settings, Requirement complexity,Identify how many number of custom applications need to be developed

Role Assignment Discovery Issue for Files and Folders through Sharepoint REST services

To preface, I am a decided Sharepoint newbie in every sense. I am trying to use the Sharepoint REST services (Sharepoint 2013) to walk the folder and file structure of my Sharepoint server and, determine as I go, the Role Assignments (and subsequently
Permissions) on those folders and files. I'm using an Administrator credentials and I'm actually able to successfully do it but I've run into some caveats. All the caveats begin with this; when I'm examining a folder, for example:
/_api/Web/GetFolderByServerRelativeUrl('/sites/cmisdev/Development')/ListItemAllFields
I receive either an empty list or an error response doc when following the link supplied for ListItemAllFields. When following that kind of link for folders, I either get:
<d:ListItemAllFields
m:null="true"
/>
or an error response document that says "The object specified does not belong to a list." When I hit the /ListItemAllFields endpoint for files, I receive a response with a link for Role Assignments which subsequently also works and I get the
info I need. So, is this a bug? Why does the link returned from Sharepoint work for files and not folders? So, google, google, google, and I discover that there is another possible way to get at the Role Assignments (and that the object does, indeed, belong
to a list!).
If I know the Title (or the guid) of the folder in question, I can use the following endpoint:
/_api/Web/Lists/GetByTitle('Development')
If I use that endpoint, I get the information I would have expected to get from following /ListItemAllFields and the subsequent Role Assignments links all work and I get what I need. If there's a bug and this is how I have to work around it, that's fine
but I have yet to discover how to dynamically determine the Title of a given folder nor am I sure if all Titles are supposed to be unique within a given Sharepoint server. I'm assuming that the folder name as represented in the server relative URL and the
Title may be different and this is where my newbishness may start to shine if I'm misunderstanding what a "List" is supposed to be in Sharepoint. Anyway, I did find that I could use the Properties endpoint to perhaps get the Title, for example:
/_api/Web/GetFolderByServerRelativeUrl('/sites/cmisdev/Development')/Properties
gives me:
<d:vti_x005f_listtitle>Development</d:vti_x005f_listtitle>
whose value I assume I could then supply to the /GetByTitle endpoint and be golden. However, "vti_x005f_listtitle" just sounds a little too deep to be something I should be relying on but maybe that's kosher. That's part of what I'm trying to
find out. Also, if there is a way to use the Sharepoint REST API to discover the guid of a given object, then I could look it up in that way.
So, in summary:
1. Am I going about getting folder Role Assignment information in the wrong way? Based on the CSOM examples I've seen, I believe I'm doing it correctly and that the answer to #2 below is a resounding "Yes!" :)
2. Is it a bug if I'm not able to use /ListItemAllFields on folders using the server relative url?
3. If I'm supposed to use GetByTitle as a workaround, am I discovering that Title correctly through /Properties? Seems quite circuitous and awkward. Are Titles required to be unique throughout a given Sharepoint server?
4. If I'm supposed to use the guid, how can I use the REST interface to discover an object's guid? Once we get down to the Role Assignments and other links, the guid appears in those links but I don't know how to discover it independently if that's the
path I should use to get the data I described above.

Upon further research, I'll answer my own question for the benefit of some other potential future newbie. The answer to question number 1 above is "Not exactly.". The server relative URLs I was using corresponded to lists (which are
returned as a collection through /_api/web/lists). I was treating them mentally like regular folders. That, coupled with the fact that accessing their data as I showed above returns a ListItemAllFields link, made me think that was the way to get
the Role Assignments just as I would for files and, as it turns out, "real" folders and sub-folders created under these lists. That was the other problem with thinking of these lists as regular folders. So, ListItemAllFields works on
all files and folders in a list. However, if you want Role Assignments for the lists themselves, you can keep track of the Titles and\or Guids from the /_api/web/lists that you're interested in (in my case, all non-hidden "document library"
type lists) and then access those Role Assignments as I discussed in questions 3 and 4 above. For example, from the /_api/web/lists collection from my test server, the "Development" document library Role Assignments are accessable via /_api/Web/Lists(guid'cd242eeb-aafa-4efa-aecc-9bbdf8e3d459')/RoleAssignments
or /_api/Web/Lists/GetByTitle('Development')/RoleAssignments.

FPN - error trying to lookup object - remote role assignment not working

Hello everyone,
We have implemented a Federated Portal Network connection in our landscape between our portals.
We use only remote role assignment functionality.
Everything was working fine, but since 2 days we encounter the following error in the Default trace.
Error trying to lookup object: alias: <role name>
It is possible to open the producer portal in the Portal Content Administration and also searching for the Producer portal roles is possible in User administration. But when we assign the remote role the tab is not displayed in the portal only the above mentioned error is shown in the default trace. Our portals run SP 12 and BI Java SP14.
Is there a solution or workaround for this issue ?
Martin

Hi,
I have the same issue as you, I cannot see role tabs in Consumer portal and I get the same error in the defaulttrace as you.
What did you do to resolve this issue?
Many thanks

Report to see user type and roles assigned to users in EP?

Hi,
a) Is there any reporting mechanism in EP? Any specific report which throws up user types and roles assigned to the users? There is an option of 'Export' in the user management role but unfortunately it does not give information on User Type.
b) If the group is assigned a role, How can we see ( in any report) the roles assigned to a group? In the 'export' option of the 'User Management' this information does not come.

By default Portal UME comes along with the installation of portal.
Sometimes we may integrate external users using LDAP. At that time users come from ABAP stack or some active directories. But you can also create users in the portal UME. The purpose of using LDAP is to maintain the users centrally rather than creating again in portal.
You can check them in user administration->identity management and search for the users.
THere you can see some users will be from UME and some from LDAP.
User Admin tool is nothing but User Administration only.

Role assignment not working

Hi everyone,
I am trying to assign different roles to different users for GRC - Risk Management 10.0; however it seems like standard roles don't have any affect on type of activity. I have maintained various levels of roles (e.g. risk owner, risk expert, risk manager, etc) using PFCG and assigned almost every role to the users; but it doesn't give them the authorization to create or edit anything, they can only display.
The only workaround for this was assigning a role with the authorization object GRFN_USER (with 02 Change value enabled) or assigning SAP_GRC_FN_ALL (Power user role which also contains object GRFN_USER). However this would allow users to do "anything" they want which obviously isn't what I seek.
I have tried changing customization options such as Maintain Custom Agent Determination Rules and Maintain Entity Role Assignment, it hasn't solved anything so far.
I urgently require your assistance on this issue. Thank you.
Regards,
Seckin

Hi,
I 'm facing same kind of problem.
Case 1:
I tried with:
                  Assigning users to group (abap role) which didn't worked.
                  Assigning UME Role to group (abap role) which worked. Then i assigned the user to the UME Role, but the user is not getting the backend authorizations.
                  Assigning the portal role to the group (abap role), then when i assiged a user to the abap role from R/3 automatically the user is getting the portal role.
How can i do the same from portal?
Case2:
While distributing the portal roles to the ABAP system (System Administrator -> Permissions -> SAP Authorizations), the status is showing as "Role transfer compleated". but when i checked from the R/3 transaction WP3R, there are no portal roles.
Why are the portal roles not getting transfered even though the status is green?
