Role-based iView display

[Former Member]

This must be a very basic question:

I have created a portal page with two URL iViews I1

and I2. The Portal page is assigned to the roles R1

and R2. However, R1 shall see only iView I1 when viewing

the page. How can I achieve this? So far, when I logon

as user with role R1, I always see both iViews.

I have verified that there are no inherited

roles/permissions. I have also tried using the permission

editor to set the permissions for I1 and I2, but no

permissions for the iViews are shown for roles R1/R2.

All this is on EP 6 SP9 (NW04).

Hi Sebastian,

for your needs, you can do as follows (add means add as DeltaLink, even if a real copy would do):

Create iViews I1 and I2.

Create page P1.

Add I1 to P1.

Create roles R1 and R2.

Add P1 to R1 and to R2.

Choose P1 <i>within</i> R2 and edit (not the original page).

Add I2 to <i>this</i> P2.

That's all. Users with R2 have a page with both iViews on it, users with R1 the page with one iView only.

Hope it helps

Thanks Detlev, this works as you describe, just tested it.

Now I can see how I can choose between every combination

of iViews by defining a role for each combination

(giving me an exponential number of roles to choose from,

each with its specially edited page)

and assigning the role for the correct combination

to a user.

What I really want is that the number of roles and

pages be linear in the number of iViews, so that I

can assign the user a subset of these roles, and

voila - the page displays the corresponding iViews.

That must be easily possible, I'm just too dumb to

figure out how
