Assigning End-User Permission to Producer Objects and Content

Applicable to: remote role assignment, remote delta link, WSRP application sharing 

Use

End-user permission enables business users to run content at runtime. Just as end users require end-user permission to run local content on your portal, they also need end-user permission for local content originating from a remote producer.

This topic describes when to assign end-user permission to a producer object and the remote-based local content on the consumer portal.

Prerequisites

●      You have authorization to access the main Permission Editor. (Not mandatory for system administrators who have authorization to access the Manage My Producers screen.)

●      You have owner administrator permission.

●      You have consumed remote content from a producer portal.

Procedure

In the Permission Editor, assign end-user permission as follows:

Content usage mode	End-user permission to producer object on consumer	End-user permission to localized content on consumer
Remote role assignment	Yes	(not applicable)1
Remote delta link	Yes	Yes2
WSRP application sharing	Yes	Yes3

¹ No local content is created on the consumer during remote role assignment.

² Permission is assigned to remote-based local iViews, pages, worksets and roles on the consumer.

³ Permission is assigned to proxy-to-portlet iViews on the consumer.

In addition to the end-user permission assigned to remote-based local content on the consumer, the system administrator on the producer must also assign end-user permissionto the remote content on the producer. End users also require permission to run the portal components on which remote iViews and pages are based; these portal components are located in security zones on the producer. For more information, see the following:

§         Exposing Roles on the Producer for 'Remote Role Assignment' Usage 

§         Exposing Content on the Producer for 'Remote Delta Link' Usage 

§         Exposing WSRP iViews on the Producer for NetWeaver Consumers 

§         Exposing WSRP iViews on the Producer for Non-SAP Consumers 

If an iView on the producer uses a system object to enable access to a backend system, the system administrator on the producer must assign end-user permission to consumer-based business users in these system objects.
