WPC Permissions

We are setting up WPC in our portal. I have assigned End-User and Content Admin roles READ Permissions on several PCD Folders (The Custom Folder (holding custom iViews, Worksets, Layouts, Roles, etc. and The Portal Content->Web Page Composer Folder). However it seems the users need more permissions as:
End User:
Worksets and iViews are appearing correctly, however on the WPC pages none of the images can be seen only textual content and iViews.
Content Admin:
The User can access the Web Page Composer->Web Site Management but none of the icons are appearing (WPC icons for Sites, Pages, Navigation, etc.). Also when the user selects "Edit Page" the menus for the Editor are appearing as link lists instead of context menus (even the top menu is just a list of links).
Can anyone point me in the right direction for what permissions I am missing? I was trying to systematically add priviledges but these don't seem to appear unless I give them read permission on the Entire Portal Content Folder.

Alright - after trial and error on each folder I found the problem. Everyone Group must be assigned none permissions on the Portal Users folder. Once done all images are showing up again.

Permissions in Navigation nodes (WPC)

Hi all!
After that i set permissions for the pages in wpc i access the site and the page was showing like the permissions that was given.. But when i set the permission for node (in site navigation) the node still showing in TLN.
Any idea?
Regards,
Leo

No Sandeep...
After that i publish my site (in site navigation -> publish site navigation) i access my site with a user and password.. Then i want to set permission in a node in site navigation for when the user acess my site he don't see the node in TLN..
For example: My Site Navigation contents..
navigation.wpc
My Area
RH
The permission of RH is: members_rh (group name) - FULL
When the users who not be in group members_rh acess my site, they don't can view the link RH in TLN.
Just setting the permission in node (RH) is not working..

Permissions Issue with displaying WPC web page

Hi All (and Eric Heilers!)
I created and published a web page using web page composer. I added the web page to an iView and in turn the iView to a role. I assigned the role to myself and I was successfully able to see the Web Page....all was well.
Next I created a new test user and assigned a bunch of roles to a user group (one of the roles contained the web page iview). The role doesn't render the web page inside of the iView for the test user. I have given the test user Read/Write and also resorted to giving the user Owner permissions in almost everything but still I cannot render the web page!! I have tried permission in Security Zones in page builder (no_safety, and medium_safety), i have tried in, Portal Content Directory and also tried adding the test user full control permission from within the Web Page Composer role at the web site owner level. Still nothing. At best I was able to render the little toolbar which contains 'Edit" and 'RSS Feed' options on the top right, but not the web page itself.
Any helpful hints, suggestions, tips greatly welcome.
Kind regards,
Tony.

Thanks for your reply Eric,
So I'm just going to step thru this with you,
Prerequisites:
URL generator service -> I do not want to make the web pages externally accessible yet.
MIME handler service -> Is active.
Procedure
1) CM Repository Manager (this is optional so I didnt do it)
2) Folder Structure (Check)
3) Global Entry Points (this is optional so I didnt do it)
4) Configuring Entry Points for iViews (this is optional so I didnt do it)
5) I have created iViews to display the Web Pages
6) I have given relevant permission in security zones. (This is also where you advised me to do it for com.sap.nw.wpc -> wpc)
7) Although optional I am using this strategy to create group for roles and iViews created in Step 5 above.
8) I have assigned the relevant roles and group to users.
9) I have defined permissions in the web content repository.
10) I haven't configured search for web pages
11) I haven't configured localisation for languages and regions.
12) I haven't done any performance optimizing.
Now, from this you can see why I feel like I have done all that is necessary so far.
Any further suggestions?
Also, is there a way to upload a html page to the Web Pages folder and just publish that instead of using the WPC layout? As I want to keep all the javascript and stylesheet information? *
Kind regards,
Tony.

Access to WPC Web Pages by Anonymous Users?

Hello,
i want to give anonymous users access to Web Pages that were created with the Web Page Composer.
In did the following:
1. create the Web Pages,Site Navigation etc....
2. edited the permissions of the site: grant anonymous users Read Access.
3.included the site navigation into the navigation of the anoymous users
When i access the portal as anonymous users and try to open a Web Page, i get a logon screen for Authentification.
I think that there is a problem, that i didn't find any way to set the Authentification Scheme for these Web Pages to "Anonymous". This is the way it has to be done with other iViews.
When i am accessing the page with an authenticated users, i have no problem with displaying the same Web Pages.
Is there anywhere an attribute i need to set? Or is it currently not supported?
Regards,
Marcus

1. Configuration in PCD - go to Content Administration -> Portal Content-> Portal Content -> Web Page Composer -> Container iViews -> WPC
Default Containers. All of the iViews in this location should have the
"anonymous" authentication scheme. The next location which should be
checked is Content Administration -> Portal Content -> Portal Content ->Web Page Composer -> iView Templates. Again all of the iViews should
have the "anonymous" authentication scheme. The same applies to all the
templates which reside in Content Administration -> Portal Content ->
Portal Content -> Web Page Composer -> Page Layout Templates. Finally
check if all the pages which reside in Content Administration -> Portal
Content -> Portal Content -> Web Page Composer -> Page Layouts have the
"anonymous" authentication scheme.
2. Configuration in KM - make sure that all the pages, which should be
displayed to an anonymous user have in their permissions the Anonymous
Users Group.
3. Security zones - if you go to System Administration -> Permissions ->Security Zones -> com.sap.nw.wpc -> wpc -> no_safety and you open the
permissions of this object, the Anonymous Users group must be added in
the list.
If all mentioned objects have their setting as described and you still
experience problems (e.g. you see a browser dialog window for
authentication), the reason most probably is, that the KM is not
configured for anonymous access. A full description of the needed steps
is provided with note 837898.

WPC Portal runtime error

Hi,
if I want to edit a page with specific users, I get the following error message:
An exception occurred while processing your request. Send the exception ID to your portal administrator.
Exception ID 15/06/100036_3706050 09:26
I have given the users all permissions in the WPC-Settings. But when I log in as an administrator, I can create and edit new articels and banners and so on... what can that be?
Thanks for the help. I despair!

WPC Problem after creation of new Site - no "Edit Page" Link available

Hello,
I have a problem with WebPageComposer (WPC) and Edit Page link.
We are currently on EP 7.01 SP6.
(I have the wpc_editor_role for my user)
I am doing the following:
1) I create a new site, (derived permissions for all folders is wpc_editor_role - Full Control),
2) I Create some article within its Site Content folder
3) I create a new web page in its Web Pages folder
4) assign the article to the web page and publish it
5) add web page within Site Navigation as a new node
6) I used Publish Site Navigation
After clicking on the web page within Web Pages folder it does a preview.
Our older WPC content does display the Edit Page link - the new one does not.
What step am I missing here?
Maybe it is an upgrade issue?
Best Regards, Thomas
P.S.: copying one of our older WPC pages into my new site + renaming it via KM + removing old content + assigning new one does display the correct link after publishing it! Any indeas?

Dear Thomas,
It sounds like your are doing all the right actions, I don't think that your missing any step in the process, but please consider the following.
Are you using a custom WPC layout template? The reason I ask is that I have developed a number of WPC custom templates and in some circumstances I have needed to remove/hide the "pageheader" section of the template. This action removed the links from displaying at the top of the page. Try creating and publishing a web page using a SAP standard WPC layout and see if the edit link appears once the page is published.
The editing and preview page views do not display the "edit" link, they only display the other page header links that can be assigned to a page. The edit link is only visible when viewing the page via the portal, not in edit mode. Another question, was the deployment of KMCWPC successful and without error? I have experienced issues where the deployment did not fully complete, causing some subtle issues regarding publishing of WPC content and redeploying KMCWPC fixed the issue. I hope this helps.
Best Regards,
Chris

Pictures in WPC pages cannot be shown suddently!

Hi gurus,
I finally figured out the anonymous access of our external portal(EP 7.0 SP13 on solaris) last night, and all our WPC pages can be seen with anonymous user. But this noon, suddently the logon screen went out when we access it. We don't know what happened for it.
Then i checked it all over again and found wpc runtime iview's authentication scheme was default, after i changed it back to anonymous, the page showed, but all the pics include in the page could not be shown, anybody can help me on it?
I checked the pic's property, it showed url like http://<host>:<port>/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/docs/guid/c0723348-85a6-2a10-ad94-fc0406a9fb71, when i paste this url in a new window, it show me login screen, that means it wasn't be accessed by anonymous user.
What i did is:
1. change it according to note 837898
2. Configuration in PCD - go to Content Administration -> Portal Content-> Portal Content -> Web Page Composer -> Container iViews -> WPC
Default Containers. All of the iViews in this location should have the
"anonymous" authentication scheme. The next location which should be
checked is Content Administration -> Portal Content -> Portal Content ->Web Page Composer -> iView Templates. Again all of the iViews should
have the "anonymous" authentication scheme. The same applies to all the
templates which reside in Content Administration -> Portal Content ->
Portal Content -> Web Page Composer -> Page Layout Templates. Finally
check if all the pages which reside in Content Administration -> Portal
Content -> Portal Content -> Web Page Composer -> Page Layouts have the
"anonymous" authentication scheme.
3. Security zones - if you go to System Administration -> Permissions ->Security Zones -> com.sap.nw.wpc -> wpc -> no_safety and you open the
permissions of this object, the Anonymous Users group must be added in
the list.
4. pcd: portal_content/com.sap.pct/every_user/general/iViews/com.sap.km.i
views/com.sap.km.urlaccess/com.sap.km.docs and change the authenticaton scheme to 'Anonymous'.
number 2&3 come from this Link:[thread|Re: Web Page Composer Anonymous site error :'wpc:getDisplayName';
number 4 from Link:[here|/message/4490255#4490255 [original link is broken];
I checked every place that i can find from this forum, but still cannot get the pics show again. Thanks.
Best regards

Very damn, after restart the whole server, then it come back again.

Standart Portal User cannot see Website created with WPC?!?

Hi there,
just a new Question.
I created a Website with WPC as shown in this Blog:
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/weblogs?blog=/pub/wlg/5924
Web Page Composer u2013 how easy it is to create and publish a web page (Part III)
I created also a User that have rights:
Groups:
Everyone
Authenticated Users
Roles:
Testrole (That one i created for the Website)
But my user cannot see the Website after Logging in.. In the Menu there is a Menuentry called: Website
Thats correct. But the Site do not load.
After i put the User in: Group - Administrators i can see the Website... whats wrong here?
Regards
Bjoern

OK i am a step forward.
i checked help.sap.com and find a hint to the Security Zones.
Defining Permissions for Security Zones
1. Navigate to Security Zones ® com.sap.nw.wpc ® wpc.
2. In the context menu of the following folders, choose Open Permissions and define the permissions specified.
Permissions for Security Zones
Folders
Roles/Groups
Permissions
medium_safety
Site owners, editors, and authors (for example, the wpc_editor_role role)
Select the End User checkbox.
You can leave the default entry for the Administrator column as None.
no_safety
Visitors (for example, the everyone group)
Select the End User checkbox.
You can leave the default entry for the Administrator column as None.
I changed the no_safety (i added Group - Everyone)
Now i can see the Page.. but i also see at the top right of the page: EDIT PAGE
And a Standart EndUser should not see: Edit Page
What can i do here?
Regards
Bjoern

WPC for Anonymous user

Dear All,
We are on SAP NW 7.3 and trying to provide the WPC page for anonymous users.
Have designed the WPC content, connected to a role and gave the role to anonymous user, but when we go to portal
http://<host>:<port>/irj/portal/anonymous it gives a logon page. To resolve the issue have gone thru all the posts and recommendations but still the same error.
Tried to follow the blog 'Webpage composer Anonymous User access' but in NW 7.3 can find the PCD location 'WebpageComposer', - but in templates we have the WPC Templates and have given the required permissions
Also the security zones are changed.
Has it something to do with the 'Staging Area' folder (Navigating through the role Accesible Area Management -> content Editor), because when we create any new Area/Page(WPC Area/Page) it creates the same in this folder, which is present as a KM Folder. This folder does not allow to set the permissions (Accesible Area Management -> Content Library -> Staging Area -> Details -> Permissions)
Your valuable suggestions would really help me to resolve this issue.
Thanks,
Srv

KM API for localize wpc webpage

I am able to localize the wpc web pages manually by changing locale. I have lots of pages created with a region and language. Instead of manually localizing everypage, I want to use Km API to perform on a folder level.
Could you please help me, which property I have to update.
I tried for wpc nodes, for the properties wpc_wcm_node_translated_language, wpc_wcm_node_translated_name. But it didn't reflected when I checked the node.
Any ideas on this, which property to update.

Cannot view content of pages created with WPC

Hello everyone,
When I create a page with WPC, I can only view the content with my super admin account.
I have set read authorizations for everyone on the KM folders and for PCD with no result. The rest of the users cannot view the content. They can only view the Header or Tool bar at the top (which contains send feedback, email, rss feed, etc).
What must I do to make the content visible for everyone?
Best Regards,
David.

Hi Leo,
Thanks for the answer,
Set permission "everyone" in the folder "System Administration > Permissions > Web Page Composer", but still can not view the contents of the iview.
Another additional configuration?
Thankss
Regards.

KM Custom UICommand Visibility / Permissons

Hi
        I have created a custom uicommand to fullfill our current needs. This command is based on the popular one step "Implementing Flexible UI One-Step-Screenflow". My current problem is that this new button is available for every user in KM. I want to restrict this according to the Read/Write/delete permissions for the current resource. I would also like that this button is only Available for certain resource types ( Mainly WPC articles etc)
thanks

I think i found the answer to the first part of the question.
this can be controlled in the isexecutable method of UICommand
    CreateDocumentOrUpdateContentCommand createResource = new CreateDocumentOrUpdateContentCommand();
      createResource.setResource(this.resource);
      return (this.resource.isCollection()) && (createResource.canExecute()) && (!isMatchedPath(this.forbiddenPaths, this.resource.getRID().toString()));
This is a small code example i got from UINewFile Command
If this works ( i havnt test it yet) i only have to restrict the file according to the available WPC content types
Any ideias on this?
Thanks

Anonymous WPC access

Hi,
I'm setting up WPC for anonymous access. For this reason a role was created and WPC navigation is attached to it with an external connector. This role is added to the Guest user.
The Guest user is accessing the page and is able to see the WPC navigation, but in the content area where the web page should be displayed a Login window appears instead. Permissions have been assigned correspondingly to SAP NW Library (http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/47/1da38afe214405e10000000a1553f6/frameset.htm).

Hi,
Check out this link and see if it helps.

WPC Web Pages Approval

Hi
     We currently have a working approval workflow for "Site Content Folder" ( Author -> Editor) but now we want to implement a similar concept in "Web Pages" Folder (Editor -> Admin) . We have same settings apart from the approval steps but nothing seems to work. When we click on a web page details box we cant see "submit for approval".
   After some web search i could find that some versions of WPC don't support Web Pages Approval.
   We are using the following version: KMC-WPC 7.01 SP8 (1000.7.01.8.1.20110131042600)
   1) Does this version support Web Pages Approval? If affirmative what can i be doing wrong ?
   Another Question related to Publish. Our editor role does not have permissions to Publish any web page , but he can still see the Publish button in the "Edit Page Toolbar". If he clicks this button the following exception appears:
com.sapportals.portal.prt.component.PortalComponentException: Error in service call of Resource
Component : com.sap.nw.wpc.designtime.Publisher
Component class : com.sap.nw.wpc.publisher.Publisher
caused by: com.sapportals.portal.prt.component.PortalComponentException: Cannot find JSP file: error.jsp
He does not really publish anything but he still have access to the button witch is probably causing this exception.
2) Is it possible to hide this Button from Editors? or i am missing a Error.JSP file that would tell the editor he does not have permissions to Publish.?
Thanks in Advance

Thanks Tobias.
I believe you are right. But from what i can read about WPC 7.3( Not the version i am using) it is possible to approve Web Pages now am i right? Currently if i publish any page ( even if all the content is approved) it will just reset all the content Approval Status (i would have to send every content to approval again).
Still looking for a answer on the exception error.
thanks
