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 Porta
l's Administrative User can view and modify the Rendering Portlets. When I t
ry viewing a Rendering Portlet from the WCMAdmin's account or a privileged u
ser's, I always get a "IWKM
U1026X: File not found" error for content items and "This portlet is unavail
able" for the menu components. Also, no user except the Administrator can ac
cess 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 workfl
ow, ... 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 conf
ess 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 righ
ts" 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 t
he permissions you were discussing in the WebSphere Portal administration si
te?
