Roles in the portal

I have the following doubt:
We in the company have 10.000 employees. I want know How can assign the role of ESS in the portal for this 10000 employees?
There are is an option of do this massive?
Regards
Juan

Hi Juan,
Is your portal user base set to backend SAP system? What I understood from your post is you want to give all 10000 common functionality of ESS and I assume there will be a common ESS backend role (e.g. ZSAP_EMPLOYEE_ERP) assigned to these 10000 users.
If you do a search in a portal assuming you have user base from SAP backend system, you will be able to find the backend role (e.g. ZSAP_EMPLOYEE_ERP) as a group in the portal. Assign a portal role to this group. So if any user who has correct backend ESS role will automatically get the portal ESS role. This is because backend roles are shown as groups in portal and user is part of that group if he/she has that backend role. So effectively, any new user who just gets the backend role automatically has access to portal role as well due to the mapping between group and role.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,
jigar

Niki,
The documentation says that
The Portal Favorites iView contains a freely definable list of links for direct access to items that you use regularly. This can include the following:
●     Portal pages and iViews that run as full-page applications
●     Documents, folders, and other items in KM repositories
●     External items, such as Internet pages
So we can't do it for Roles.
For detailed information see <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/3a/d609e5803111d5992f00508b6b8b11/frameset.htm">Portal Favorites</a>

Publish a BEx role in the portal

     Hello!
     I would like to know if any of you have ever encountered this situation. Is it possible to somehow publish in the portal a link to a BW role, so all the queries/workbooks stored inside can be opened from there? The thing is that the users generate in these folders their own queries from time to time according to business requirements, and they would like them to be available from the portal. If this approach is possible, then the maintenance required for the portal content administrator would be minimal when they create new content under these roles.
I have used KM content for BO folders, but I do not know if something like this is possible for BW roles. If possible, could you please provide some how to's?
   Thank you very much,
   Victor

Hi,
You need not to create web template to publish query in portal.
there are two ways for publishing
1)Go to query designer Click on Query -> Publish-> To portal
here you select the path where you want to create the iview
2)Log in to portal setect the folder in which you want to publish report.
right click -> create new iview -> select BI 7.0 iview -> next -> iview name ie report name -> next -> Application parameter -> here you need to write QUERY =Query technical name -> next -> finish
Try this,
Regards,
Ganesh

User cannot see the roles in the portal

Hi,
We have a users who uses portal for his reports. Today he executed a report which took more time. since then onwards when ever user logon to the portal he doesnt get any thing loaded on the page in his system but when the user logon on the other system he get all the roles assigned to him. so i guess there might have been some problem on his pc when he executed report with lots of selections.
Did anyone had this issue earlier? How can we fix that issue on his PC?
Thanks
annie

Hi
thanks for your replies.
We have restarted the PC twice, but still the problem exists.
I have deleted the cookies and tried and it worked.

How to change the portal role presentation based on users BW authorization?

Hello,
I have created 3 BW Roles, each one contains an iView with a certain report.
For simplicity let's name the Roles A,B,C and assume that in order to see the proper report the user needs to be assigned to the matching group (A,B,C) at the BW side.
I have imported these 3 roles to the portal as worksets, created new pcd role, placed these 3 worksets inside the new role and assigned this role to a certain group of users in the portal (these users are ABAP users so they are the same at the BW side as well).
What I would like to do is this: I would like that each user that I have assigned this new role to will see only the worksets that he/she allowed to see based on it's BW authorization. Meaning, if I have been assigned roles A and B at the BW I will see only worksets A and B inside the role.
The problem is this: From the portal I cannot assign the users to the BW groups and from BW I cannot control pcd roles so this kind of change requires me to make two modifications: One for authorization from the BW and one for presentation from the portal. I would like to manage it just from one place, either from the BW or from the portal, I don't care.
How can I achieve this?

I think I have found a solution: Export it as a role instead of a workset and do one to one assignments with the BW groups.

Display multiple roles like in BEX browser onto the Portal

BW integration with the Portal

I need to integrate BW reports into the Portal. Currently my reports are organized around role menus. I need to know what are the best practices around:
- role creation. what is the strategy of creating roles in the Portal. do we import the BW roles into the Portal? do we create new roles based on the BW roles? how can BW roles be migrated to the Portal?
- the execution of online reports from the Portal. Can we run ad-hoc reports in the Portal? can the user select characterstics or change the BW queries from the Portal?
thanks in advance.

you can find information about upload existing roles from an abap-system to the portal in the sap help:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/40/4b3441cd62db2be10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm
when it comes to ad-hoc query and analysis, you can use the bex web analyser of netweaver 04s (callable by url or as iView in the portal) see:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/08/965b423be8de54e10000000a155106/frameset.htm

Integrating ECC reports with BW reports in the Portal

Greetings experts!
How, if at all, can one integrate BW reports that are in BW Roles in the portal (i.e. an enduser runs reports using the "new analysis" button in the portal via the 0analysis_pattern template) with ECC reports in the portal?
Requirement:
End users are looking for one location to go for all their reporting needs (ECC and BW) in the portal.
BW developers wish to continue the deployment and management of reports via the BW roles that reside in BW and stay away from creating an iview for every BW report.
Is this possible? thanks in advance for all your responses.
best,
-ravi

I am not sure how your ECC reports display in the Portal however I assume they are associated with an ECC Role.
You do not need to create an iview for each BW report. Upload your roles into the Portal under System Administration > Transport > Role Upload.
Each role in your ABAP (BW) role will be created in an assoicated Portal Role.
These roles will display in the Top Level Navigation, as do all roles that have been assigned to a user. The Reports of the Roles then display in the Detailed Navigation frame in the portal, once the role has been selected in the Top Level Navigation.
In this way your users go to one place, the portal to execute reports.

Role upload from portal.

hi,
I am attempting to upload a sampling of R/3 ECC 6.0 roles into the portal (EP7.0). I have the system connection defined and testing successfully. I unfortunately can not execute the upload function. After defining the selections that I wish to upload, in this case a role, I receive the red exclamation mark followed by
"Could not perform action. Check the role migration log for additional information"
Please let me know how to upload sap roles from portal.
thanks in advance.
Mahee.

Changing Portal Role after the status change of user status at the CRM end.

Hi,
I have Portal with Java database as the default and CRM is connected to it using SSO.The database in both the case in separate.The users that are created in Portal will have a BP status in CRM sytsem.
Now my requirement is that if the status of the BP gets changed at the backend simultaneoulsy its Portal role should also gets changed.How shall i facilitate this procedure of changing the Portal Role?
Is there any RFC ,BAPi or Webservices required for this?
Regards,
Amarys
Edited by: amarys on Sep 13, 2011 11:20 AM

Hello,
Since the status has no number it will appear under statuses W/O number bottom right in status overview window.
These status will appear as additional text beside current user status. For example if user staus is BUG and status without number is DFL and sets when deletion flag is set and gets deleted when it is revoked than user status will appear as
BUG DFL -
Deletion flag set.
BUG -
When deletion flag revoked.
You have to live with it. I don't think there is a way out for that.
Thanks

Adding users to roles in the new preview portal (new RBAC feature) does not work

When I click the Invite Users/Add button for any of the 3 roles in the new preview portal, the page doesn't load and instead, it instantly redirects to an HTTP 520 error page. Can anyone please look into this and fix it? It's been this way since last week,
which is when I checked it out but it is quite possible it has been this way for longer.

Abap role in the enterprise portal?

Can anyone give me a clear picture abt the enterprise protal and abap role in that?

Hi when there is an integration between EP and R/3 and you click on the User Adinistration of the Portal you will find two types od users available there.
1. UME Database - this is nothing but the Portal Roles here you will find all the roles related to portal administration, such as eu_role, eu_corerole etc etc .
We assign portal developer roles to the user form here like Content Admin, System Admin, etc etc.
2. ABAP Role : whatever role are defined for the user in the backened will appear here ...
for instance if you implement ESS, hence the user must be able to apply for Travel so a backend r/3 travel role will be attached in SU01 for that user. This is visible on portal.
Hope this clarifies!
Cheers!

How to display the portal iView in Favorites screen without content role

1) first check your portal desktop which frame work it is using.
By default we use default framework page.
It can be found in the path Content admin->portal content. in pcd content navigate to content provided by SAP-> end user content
There you can find the default framework page
open that and check the desktop inner page and click open
remove the portal favorites iviews and put your own iview there.
My suggestion is make a copy of your default framework page and customize it and use this framework page in the portal desktop
Search for customizing the default framework page and desktop in SDN. you will get lot of links
Here is the help link to know more on default framework page
