Unable to Edit Portal Role properties

Hi,
I am trying to make a Role/Workset as an "Entry Point" and am unable to set the "Navigation" Property for the role and Workset. The problem is that I do not see a Property Editor for the role. All I see are the options to display Role, Permissions and Delta Link Tracer. Am I missing something here? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
- Anil

I do have the administrator role for my login. So, I should be able to see everything, I think.
This not an ABAP role or anything. I just created this role within Content Admin itself.
Here is what I see when I right click the Role from under the folder.
TestRole -> Open -> Object
. . . . . . . . . . . . . -> Permissions
. . . . . . . . . . . . . -> Delta Link Tracer
. . . . . . .-> Change ID
. . . . . . .-> Delete
. . . . . . .-> Copy
. . . . . . .-> Cut
I hope there is a simple solution to fix this issue! Thanks a lot for your help and suggestions.

Unable to access PCD's role properties from Java Web Dynpro (Access Denied

Using the IPcdContext to access the portal roles does not produce the required list of roles due to the following error
Access denied (Object) .....
This occurs once I try to use the lookup() method
I have tried security zones, adding sharingReferences and permission, but no luck.
I have searched the SDN but again whatever I found still gave the same result. I now think that it's a configuration settings rather than code.
Sample code
Hashtable env = new Hashtable();
env.put(Context.SECURITY_PRINCIPAL, strCurrentUser);
env.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY, IPcdContext.PCD_INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY);
//DirContext ictx = new javax.naming.directory.InitialDirContext(env);
// InitialDirContext ictx = new InitialDirContext(env);
InitialContext ictx = new InitialContext(env);
lookupObject = "portal_content";
IPcdContext myPcdContext = (IPcdContext) ictx.lookup(lookupObject);
Any suggestion will be appreciated

Rob,
The only thing I see different as per this [document |https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/6112ecb7-0a01-0010-ef90-941c70c9e401] is following line of codes. Check if adding it resolves the issue:
env.put(com.sap.portal.directory.Constants.REQUESTED_ASPECT, PcmConstants.ASPECT_SEMANTICS);
lookupObject = "pcd:portal_content/"

GRC 10 EAM - Unable to assign Firefighter roles to owners

Greetings SAP gurus,
I am currently on a new GRC 10 installation and having issues with the Emergency Access Management (EAM) component previously known as FireFighter or SPM. Note: We are trying to implement the Firefighter ''Role-Based" Approach.
Issue: We are unable to assign EAM roles to owners within NWBC. Click on 'Assign owners to Firefigher ID's and provision Firefighter ID's to firefighters' via the Access Management Tab within NWBC, option Superuser Assignment. Click on Assign. We are able to find the owners, but when I search for roles to assign, I get the error, 'No records found for the search criteria entered''.
We are on SP7.
Items completed:
1) All post installation tasks were completed correctly, i.e. BC sets activated, connector groups created and working.
2) EAM roles created on target system and imported via BRM.
3) EAM role properties edited for "Firefighting' usage in BRM, role owners defined, functional areas defined, business process and sub process areas defined.
4) Access control owners (i.e. role owners and controllers) defined.
5) The ID being used for configuration is currently assigned all GRC_NWBC roles available.
6) The connector groups are working fine and we are using for the Access risk Analysis component which is working fine.
7) The post EAM configuration steps has been completed.
Has anyone else experienced a similar issue? I look forward to your responses.
Rgds,
Prevlin Moodley

Hello Prevlin,
Are you using a FF role owner for the assignment. This might be helpful:

Quick Poll Greyed Out - unable to edit

Hello,
We have a series of quick polls assigned to individual campaigns and all are 'ongoing'. These are then assigned to KM IViews and assigned to users via roles etc.
Last week we were able to edit the quick poll, editing the text, participants etc but for some reason we are now unable to.
I've logged in as administrator and checked permissions etc but still unable to edit.
There are no locks pending in the portal.
any idea what the issue could be?
thanks
Simon.

Hi ezadler,
Did this issue only haapen to this one particular list?
Please check if there are more related ULS logs in 15 hive.
And also try saving this library as a template and create a new libarary based on it, then check if issue still exists, then change the "multiple lines of text" type
Enhanced rich text to
Rich text (even Plain text) if possible, then check again.

Hello Ervin,
Wanted to let folks know that your solution helped me as well. We are running NetWeaver 7.4 SPS07 and just moved our Portal database from MS SQL Server 2008 to a new database server running MS SQL Server 2012. After the move, none of our ESS applications worked and we were seeing JCo connection errors. I manually added our JCo Destinations in the local SLD, which did not solve anything. Afterward, here is an excerpt of the ESS errors we saw:

After that, I could not access Web Dynpro Content Administration (/webdynpro/welcome/) > Create JCo Destination or Maintain JCo Destinations. I received the error:

After reading your reply I decided to log on to the local SLD and delete all of the JCo Destinations that I had created in the SLD. I was then able to successfully get to Web Dynpro Content Administration > Maintain JCo Destinations. I then manually created all of the JCo Destinations in Web Dynpro Content Administration and our ESS problems were resolved.
Thanks for your help!

Directly set role properties

Hi,
is it possible to set role properties directly from a provider
so that they will NOT be stored in user profile ?
I've defined a provider (extendes JSPProvider) and a channel. The channel XML defines a string property:
<...name="key" value="abc" ...>
The channel JSP shows this string. Within the Edit-Screen you can modify key=abc to a new value. But when the
provider calls the setStringProperty method the portal allways create a new channel in user profile and does not
overwrite the string in the role.
I've tried lock=true/false, propagate=true/false, merge=...
Any ideas ?

Hi,
I don't think there is a simple way to do this...
The reason for that is the inherit relationship in channel definitions and desktop profile.
Why do you want to overwrite the default portal behaviour?
I am just curiuos, why do you want to allow every user to
to overwrite an attribute in a Role and how your channel
would know which role to overwrite(for nested Roles)?!
Cheers,
Alex :-)

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.

Read-only Collaborator can edit Contract Document properties

We have a master agreement with a read-only collaborator. The security profile for this collaborator role is identical to the stock "Document Reviewer" profile, i.e. only View is set.
However this supposedly read-only collaborator is able to edit Contract Document properties. They click on the Contract Documents tab, then drill into a Contract Document, and then click on the Edit button. From there, they have the ability to change fields such as Name, Descrpition, Effective Date, etc. They cannot change or delete the actual file attachment itself.
Is this an issue with CLM, or is there some security setting we are missing somewhere? Please tell me this is not working as designed ..
thanks.

Hi Terry,
According to your description, my understanding is that you don’t want the yollow bar notification to display when you open Access documents.
This issue seems to be about the client application. Please compare the followings with the things that you did:
1.Open the documents
2.Click File->Options->Trust Center->Trust Center Settings
3.Click Protected View, unselect ‘Enable Protected View for originating from the Internet’
4.Click Message Bar, select ‘Never show information about blocked content’
5.Click Macro Settings, select ‘Disable all macros without notification’
In addition, as this issue is about Office, I commend you create a new thread in Office forum, more experts will assist you with this issue.

I hope this helps.

Unable to edit info in itunes????

Hi,
I have recently got a new PC, and I am having problems with itunes.
Here is the details:
The hard drive which contains itunes music folder has been put into the new PC has a secondary drive.
I added folder within itunes and all my music is now there.
I am now unable to edit any of the information within itunes.
I right click on a track and select get info, and where I used to be able to edit artist name, track name etc is now just greyed out and I am unable to edit.
Can anyone please help with this
Cheers
Steve

The solution may be as simple as making sure the files have not become read-only during the xfer to the other drive. It happens sometimes when files go from DVD to hard drive or hard drive to network drive. Right-click a file, choose Properties, and remove any checkmark next to "Read-only." You can remove the checkmark from multiple files by selecting them all first, then right-clicking, choosing Properties, and clearing the "Read-only" box.

Page w/3 Iviews will not display all iviews thru Portal Role?

Hello All,
I am having a problem with getting 2 of 3 iviews to display through my portal role(s). 1 of the iviews is a copy (generated thru the wizard with same properties) of the SAP Bank information iview and the other 2 I created in the KM content (1 is an image and the other is html). If I preview the page, I see all 3 of my iviews with no problem.
Just a little history, I created a new area page called payments which I tied Bank Information and w-4 to via config in the back end. I z copied all my resources and tied the correct PCD to them.
It almost seems that it is still calling the SAP delivered Bank information? But, I checked all my config and nothing that is configured is pointing to there iview/page?
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
ESS 1.0 - EP7.0
Thanks,
Mike

Hello Priya,
Thank you for getting back to me so quickly on this. I did create a z copy of the bank information service and called it z_employee_bank_us_serv05. I created the iview with application name 'per_bank_us' and as for the 'Application Parameters', I did not fill anything in which leads me to my next question.
I know when I create a new area, that I need to fill in the application parameters of the path to the 'Area group pages'
(Example: sap.xss.menuarea=Z_EMPLOYEE_BENEFITPAY_ERP2005&sap.xss.menuargrp=Z_SAPDEFAULTESS_ERP2005&sap.xss.menuhdr=SAPDEFAULT),
What would the verbage that would need to be added to the application parameters for this just to point to the service?

Unable to edit Distribution Group membership via Outlook (works via ECP).

SITUATION: I am attempting to enable the ability for specified users to edit the membership of Exchange 2010 distribution groups via Outlook 2010. I have configured permissions via RBAC for them to be able to do this by following the instructions and
running the script found here:
http://msexchangeteam.com/archive/2009/11/18/453251.aspx
After running the script, users specified as group managers are able to edit group membership through the ECP. But when they attempt to do so via Outlook, they receive the same message that they would see if the permission to edit group membership
was not enabled:
"Changes to the public group membership cannot be saved. You do not have sufficient permission to perform this operation on this object."
QUESTION: Does anyone have any idea as to why we are still unable to edit group membership via Outlook, when all the permissions appear to be enabled doing so?

Click Start
