Mass creation of users and assining roles in Enterprise Portal

[Former Member]

Hi All,

Can anyone tell me how can i mass create users and assign roles in EP.

Is there any way except for using the 3rd party tools like QAT, is it possible through SAP itself we can do.

i need to create around 2000 users and assign roles in portal.

Does the Export n Import option help in User Administration ? I have heard we cananot set password in the Import n Export method, is it true ?

Thanks

You can use export and import feature, but do it in batches ( groups of users)

I remember inserting a field name for password in the export file from SAP portal,

By default when you export password field does not appear, if you look in help.sap.com

the field name/key word is mentioned, probably as PASS... (something).

I have seen at one of my clients place , an expert in EXCEL/ACCESS/VB wrote a script to execute the imports to the portal.

Franklin,

this export import works for user creation

[User]

UID=user1

Password=user1

Email_Address=xxxxxxx

First_Name=John

Last_Name=Smith

role=pcd:portal_content/com.xxxx.ess.xxxxx_ess/com.xxxxx.ess.roles/com.xxxxx.ess.roles.ess;

But in my case most of the users are already created, and now i need to do role mapping to these users.

can we do role mapping to users through Export Import

Is there any other way to do RTPM (Role to position Mapping) in portal.

Thanks.

Chetan why dont you look at this link

/thread/314622 [original link is broken]

Its going to be a lot of work to Map if you have not thought about it before.

Though I have done the above myself, the guess is in Loadrunner you will have "User" data and "Role"data

if you can lay out your user to role relationship in an excel format you might be able to reach your target.

I still feel that its going to be lot of Sorting on the Excel to map user to role relationship.

Can you please go to this path and search for TESTING EP WITH LOADRUNNER

Hi chetan,

You can use Ecatt for creating MASS user in Abap, if it is dual stack system.

or

import 20000 users and upload roles.

Enterprise portals are installed with JAVADATABASE /Java stack only so that SSO/AD configuration could be maintained and monitored correctly in a Large enterprise.

Can we install both Java + ABAP stack and have EP yes,Installing EP (UME) to ABAP database will work, but pointing it back to JAVA will be a great challenge/Headache/Rework

Please look into the best practices recommended by SAP.

But I think from your question you have crossed all the stages of installation.

your only issue may be with user to role mapping in the import script.

Our UME system is not abap system, UME is its own database

As franklin said we have User and roles already defined in the portal, its only the point to Map users and roles

Hi Chetan,

Frankly speaking this is a Manual activity if this was not done as part of realization in your project

you will have to map the users and roles.

Even if you could get the best script working

USER to ROLE mapping is what it will ask for? probably look at a reference portal in your landscapre Sanbox/Development/Quality

which can give you atleast 60--70% of information on this relationship.

Remaining would be a manual activity, the program team like security, basis, developer etc will always have generic roles supplied by SAP you can customize/Rename them according to the business requirement/your naming convention.
