Access denied error while entering collaboration room parts

[Former Member]

Dear colleagues,

while entering a part of a collaboration room, I'm getting an access denied error:

Access Denied

The item you are attempting to access requires permissions you do not have. Contact the item's owner or a system administrator to acquire the permissions in question.

NWA says folowing:

I've been running through KM, PCD and security zones permissions, but they all seems to be ok so far. Also, there no such errors if Im running through rooms as administrator or give affected user the super admin role. Im on NW EP 731 SP6.

Does anybody have an idea what is going on? Thank you very much,

regards

P.S. I know Im in wrong forum, but im not able to create a discussion in the collaboration area, its shown grayed. (dear moderators, why actually not?). So please be so kind and move this thread if possible.

How are you navigating to the room part? From the room itself? Have you assigned the users to the room in room member maintenance? Everyone accessing the room needs to be a member, unless it is a public room. When assigning users as members, the dynamically created UME group will be assigned to the users.

>How are you navigating to the room part? From the room itself?

from collaboration role, respectively my rooms iView

>Have you assigned the users to the room in room member maintenance?

yes

>When assigning users as members, the dynamically created UME group will be assigned to the users

yes, and also, as I found out through stubborn reengineering and SAP component decompiling and debugging, to the "hidden" room role UME groups. I already run through the whole process, thank you anyway.

At the end it was a KM permission issue on the collaboration repositories, as I found out on my own. However,  Im used with more "speaking" permissions exceptions, not only for KM permissions, but also for PCD or security zones. I have no idea, why SAP decided to throw this one in that case. Thank you nevertheless Samuli,

Moved to KM. Thanks for the additional info. If the problem with forum still persists please open a thread at SCN Support.

Best regards,
