You could do the following.

IUser myUser = UMFactory.getUserFactory().getUserByLogonID("JoseAli");
com.sapportals.portal.security.usermanagement.IUser user = WPUMFactory.getUserFactory().getEP5User(myUser);

Hi Prakash,

I am on netweaver 2004 sp17 and I added your code to get ep5 user for the km application but I am getting error for the second line of code when using WPUMFactory

1) IUser myUser = UMFactory.getUserFactory().getUserByLogonID("JoseAli");

2) <b>com.sapportals.portal.security.usermanagement.IUser user = WPUMFactory.getUserFactory().getEP5User(myUser);</b>

do we need to change anything in portalpp.xml to make the WPUMFactory working? Pease let me know.

thanks in advance.

@Pankaj:

Did you maintain the web dynpro references? If not, this may help: select your wd project folder, and got to properties. Select Web Dynpro References and then Tab Sharing references. Add PORTAL:sap.com/com.sap.km.application.

Hi Jose,

For a group you would do the following.

IResource resource = ResourceFactory.getInstance().getResource(rid, ctxt);
IResourceAclManager aclmanager =  aclsecurityManager.getAclManager();
IResourceAcl racl = aclmanager.createAcl(resource);
IUMPrincipal everyone = WPUMFactory.getGroupFactory().getGroup("Everyone");
racl.addEntry(aclmanager.createAclEntry(everyone, false, aclmanager.getPermission(IAclPermission.ACL_PERMISSION_READ), 0));

For a user you would do the following.

IResource resource = ResourceFactory.getInstance().getResource(rid, ctxt);
IResourceAclManager aclmanager =  aclsecurityManager.getAclManager();
IResourceAcl racl = aclmanager.createAcl(resource);
com.sapportals.portal.security.usermanagement.IUser user = WPUMFactory.getUserFactory().getEP5User(request.getUser());
racl.addEntry(aclmanager.createAclEntry(user, false, aclmanager.getPermission(IAclPermission.ACL_PERMISSION_READ), 0));
