Roles and Permission

[Former Member]

Hi,

I would like to understand the concept of permission a little better.

I have create a Role and assigned it to the a newly creeated test user. The User has only one other role 'eu_role' ( SAP's Standard user role).

When I look into the permission editor for the custom role the only user that have end user box as checked is system_admin_role.

My point is since the user ( to whom this role is assigned) doesn't belong to the super_admin category, he should not see the Role when he logs in. However the role is appearing as the user logs in.

In that circumstances , I am failing to understand the function of the permision provided in the permission editor,

Can any bosy help?

Thanks

Hi Arun,

See u created user through User Administration workset Users Option and then create. At this point portal will assign default workset for newly created user. If now you want to assign extra worksets for newly created user just click on option Roles under User Administration workset. As you said newly created user see this roles like System_admin. But see he cannot have authority to assign it. As this functions comes under default savepoint of PCD. It will be there PCD. Or there is one option Reset Child Permissions through will you can de-assign perticular Roles of the user.

Hi,

I am sorry if I confused both of you.

Here is my point.

I created an user( say usr01) and by default this user is already assigned the eu_role( actually by default the user is assigned to group 'Everyone' which inturn is assigned to this role 'eu_role') . Now I have created another Role ( SAY role1) and assigned it the user usr01.

Now when the user usr01 logs in the menus related to role1 appears. please look at the permission editor set up as shown below

Name Administrator end user

Administrator none Not checked

content_admin_role Read Not checked

Everyone Read Everyone

super_admin_role Owner checked

system_admin_role Full control Not checked

user_admin_role none Not checked

Dose any of the above setting influence whether the usr01 will be able to see the role after loging to the portal. Can we change the permission in such a way so that despite being asigned to the role role1 the user usr01 IS NOT ABLE to access/see the menu items for the role

In otherword what are the significance of the settings above in th epermision editor for the role.

Thanks

Hi Arun,

U can create iviews and assign this elementary part of portal to a role.

What u do next is assign a user whom u create to this role...so that that user when logs in can see the iviews.

By defult every user created has got a eu_role, which is nothing but every user role.

Any more doubts...please let us know.
