Author Access rights for WCM elements / Mapping user roles

2007-01-22, 1:17 pm

Hello,

I use WebSphere Portal 6.0 with Tivoli Directory Server 6.0.0.9. The enable-security-ldap task completed successfully, and the Portal correctly accesses the LDAP user directory.

My problem concerns the access rights for WCM. At the moment, only the Portal's Administrative User can view and modify the Rendering Portlets. When I try viewing a Rendering Portlet from the WCMAdmin's account or a privileged user's, I always get a "IWKM
U1026X: File not found" error for content items and "This portlet is unavailable" for the menu components. Also, no user except the Administrator can access the Authoring Portlet: "You are not authorized to perform..."

In the WCM, I granted read access to [all authenticated users], setting this property for all elements: sites, site areas, content items, the workflow, ... Of course these are to be changed in the future, but first I'd like to get them to work.

I also tried configuring the user roles in the WAS Admin Console: Enterprise Applications > wmmApp > Map security roles to users/groups. But I must confess that I don't really get the meaning of these settings here... the online docs aren't very clear abo
ut that. Maybe I have to change the settings for the wcm application as well?

It's more than obvious to me that I keep on missing a crucial configuration setting, but until now I haven't been able to figure out where it's hiding.

Would anybody please be so kind to
1) explain me what exactly the user role mappings in the WAS Console are and how they work;
2) tell me what I can do to solve my problem?

Thank you,
adapter

Found the solution....

I had not correctly set the Web Content library's permissions with all roles.

I had the same problem, and the solution for me was to add read "access rights" on sites and site areas to users/groups I wanted to see the contents.

Hi Michael,

I am experiencing the same problem as you faced. Where exactly do you set the permissions you were discussing in the WebSphere Portal administration site?
