Permissions in FPN Scenario

31 Views

Hello All,

I have a Federated Portal set up and roles from the producer are assigned to users on consumer via Remote Role Assignment (RRA). Everything is working fine but in order to provide users the roles, we figured that the users need to be assigned the role on both producer and consumer portals in order for them to show up as tabs on the consumer portal. For example, role.x exists on consumer portal CP. Just assigning role.x via RRA on the producer portal PP doesn't make the tab to appear on the PP. role.x has to be assigned on CP also. Only then the user is able to find the tab.

Upon research we found that this "dual maintenance" can be avoided by relaxing the Everyone-ON security permission for the portal content on the PP. This means, if we enable Everyone-ON permission on the content on PP, we found that just doing RRA on CP, the user was able to access the tab.

However, we are not sure if this is the correct practice. Please advice.

Thanks,

Kiran
