MDM - Shopping List Acess to Users

Former Member
0 Kudos

Hi,

Please help with the following situation:

User A - Catalog XPTO , with catalog- named-search AA

User B - Catalog XIOW, with catalog- named-search BB

User A, creates a Shopping List, called BTW that is shared.

User B sees the Shopping List BTW and the articles that are listed are not contained in his named-search.

In this situation, User B can't buy the itens of this Shopping List, as they are not part of their catalog BB.

How can we cut the acess of these itens, for user B?

I mean, User B can't buy them, so there must be any error ou any way of not showing them... Do you know any?

Thanks in advance,

Maria

Perhaps you could put a constraint on the security role for User B filtered by the named search?

Hi Maria.

Catalog Search UI and the Shopping Lists functionality function separately as they are designed in such a way(Irrespective of named search provided to it). Since the other user has shared his shopping lists so it will be visible to the other users as well.

The named search functionality works as per the functionality only for the Search UI. you can ask SAP to provide this functionality as there is no configuration settings available to restrict it.

But still can you try the below workaround and see if you can restrict the items for the shared shoping lists item.

Login to the Console and the MDM repository-> Navigate to Admin Node -> Roles-> Select the appropriate role for the provided user(User B) -> Navigate to the tab "Tables and Fields"

You will find an entry for "Named Searches", In the constraints column, you can add the named search in the available list which you want to restrict. Save the changes.

Now launch the catalog for the User B and verify if you can able to see those records for that shopping lists shared by the user.

Hi Bala,

I have tried this, but the itens still appear in Shopping List, even if they aren't in the named-search. Maybe there is any additional step?

As I can read, you say the functionalities are working separately. So, maybe the Shopping List does not checks the named-Search before?

Thanks,

Hi,

I have already seen this thread, but this is not the problem. Our problem is that itens from a different named-search appear to another user. But in this case the shopping list is shared. Even though, why itens appear?

Thanks and regards

Maria,

We did implement something similar. We did it in SRM_MDM Catalog 3.0, Which one you are trying?

When you two different catalogs, they have two different WS Links, right? Do they connect to same MDM Repository?

Shopping List is nothing but Masks in MDM Repository. So your roles to the two users you are showing determines, who can access what?

Named Searches given in WS URL is just a comiled query that will show up as shortlist. It does not have any realtionship with shopping list.

If the User B has role/rights to transfer catalog item X, No matter where its shown be it A's shopping list or B's shopping list. He will be able to transfer the same to cart.

So, try transfering the same items ( which are in A's shopping list) directly with out going thru any list. If it works, then it should work when you go thru shopping list.

If you face problem, please post the message again.

Hi Maria.

Since you have already mentioned that you are using MDM Catalog 2.0, I remember the solution was provided in Catalog 3.0.

So you can ask SAP to provide a solution based on the issue in 2.0. you can raise a CSN for it.

with the version u are using this behaviour is by design and not a bug

this is more of a business challenge than a technical one ..

either have the lists not shared - so that cant see / cant buy -> no confusions

else have these shared and in any case the others can see but cant mess with it

would like to know whats the requirement in here - on why have u designed such a process - than really going into the technical solution !

thanks

HI Adrivit,

the problem here was that the user can always share the list, even if he shouldn't.

If there is any mistake and the list is shared, then the user can see the itens of a list that does not belong to him.

Thanks,
