Hai,

Login into the Portal with user - Administrator,if it is standalone JAVA stack.

http://hostname:portnumber/irj and goto tab

User administration->Identity Management and select Search Criteria in the right side to Role.

Click on Create Role button to ceate a new role and assign the Groups from the Avaialable Groups and also we can assign the Users and Actions. Save the Role.

Hence then the user will get that Role.

Thanks and Regards,

Thank you Venkat.

This is just java system, NO EP installed. so I cannot use the EP user management to do this. Either Visual Administrator or UME?

Hello Kumar,

I guess by by dual stack you mean an ABAP+JAVA environment right?

Anyways, in a JAVA only schema, if you are using your user store as UME, you can create the roles in UME through the browser by logging in as J2EE_ADMIIN or a suer with equivalent authorizations.

on the other hand you can create J2ee roles in Visual administrator(VA). For that you need to login to VA and go to the service Security provider. There you will find the option to create roles. But please be advised that the actions (equivalent of authorizations in ABAP stack) should already have been defined by your programmers before you can go ahead with the task of creating roles.

One morething, each J2EE role can contain only one action.

Where as in UME roles you can group them together.
