ADMINISTRATORS User group got deleted

[Former Member]

Hello Experts,

I ended up deleting the Administrators User Group in SAP ME. Now I do not see any of the activity lists nor am I able to recover it back.

The message I got was "Permits and options are required to run the activity EN070 (Post 16034)"

Can any body guide me as to what could be done now?

Thanks in advance.

Hello Alli,

Thanks for the reply.

We had other user groups too like Operators, Manager, Engineer etc that come with ME installation.

But after this deletion of Administrator user group, most of the activities are not visible for the site in question. When I check the global site, all of these user groups are there.

Would this be of any help?

My colleague did try to check out and is of the opinion that many of the table entries related to these user groups are not seen now.

Seems inadvertently I have created a mess.

Would be thankful for any clue on this. Of-course I will talk to my Basis colleague also about the possibility of reloading the initial data in site maintenance.

Thanks

You could call SiteConfigurationService web service to trigger reload of initial data. Also, if user group "Administrators" does not exist, you might need to create it separately via web service call to UserGroupConfiguration.

Hi Srini,

You can try two ways now

Option 1. You need to enter data manually in the following tables in WIP DB

USER_GROUP (Table) – here you need to copy the “ADMINISTRATORS” User Group for “*” site and create a new row in table for your specific site.

USER_GROUP_MEMBER (Table) – here you need to create an entry to assign the user group to a user for specific site.

ACTIVITY_PERM (Table) – here you need to create an entry for Activity BO EN070 (User Group Maintenance) for Administrator. Copy it from * site and change the site only. like “ActivityPermBO:UserGroupBO:<Put your site>,ADMINISTRATORS,ActivityBO:EN070”

ACTIVITY_PERM_SETTING (Table) – here you need to provide permission to Administrators for View, Save and Delete for EN070 activity. Make an entry here also with Handle “ActivityPermSettingBO:ActivityPermBO:UserGroupBO:< Put your site >,ADMINISTRATORS,ActivityBO:EN070,VIEW”

Option 2. You can do the same through SAP ME PAPI service. Please execute the below PAPI services and put the Required data for “ADMINISTRATORS” User Group and “EN070” activity.

UserGroupConfigurationService -> createUserGroup

UserGroupConfigurationService -> createUserGroupPermission

After doing the option 1 or Option 2 you need to login in ME with the user whom you assigned the “ADMINISTRATORS” User Group. The User Group Management activity will be available in ME Menu list. Now you can open it and Retrieve the activities for ADMINISTRATORS and provide the permission.

Hello Bakhtiyar,

Thanks very much for the suggestion. I did have a discussion with my colleague on this and as I understood there were some apprehensions / issues if I go the reload initial data way. Even as we explored web service call method, the issue was resolved as per the details given in Chandan's reply.

Thanks for the support.

Hello Chandan,

Thanks a lot for the details and support in resolving this issue. I believe the option 2 was more handy in resolving this issue.

Was that the only group with access to User Group Maintenance? 

You might try reloading the initial data in Site Maintenance...
