Creating Tenant Content Administrators 

Use

When you create a tenant in the portal, a content administrator role is automatically generated for the tenant in the tenant's Role folder in the Portal Catalog (Portal Content/Tenants/<Tenant Name>/Roles).

If you want to create an additional tenant content admin role, follow the instructions described in this topic.

 

Prerequisites

The steps described below require the services of both a global user administrator and a global content administrator.

 

Procedure

...

       1.      If needed, create a tenant user as follows:

                            a.      In the portal, navigate to User Administration ® Users ® Create User.

                            b.      In User ID, enter the tenant name followed by a backslash (\) followed by the ID of the new user.

For example: TenantA\contentadmin

                            c.      Fill in the other fields as required.

                            d.      Save your entry

       2.      Create a copy of or a delta link to the standard Content Admin role for the required tenant. We recommend you create a delta link.

You can create a delta link to the Content Admin role as follows:

                            a.      In the portal, open the Portal Content Studio (Content Administration ® Portal Content).

                            b.      In the Portal Catalog, navigate to the folder:

Content Provided by SAP/Admin Content/Content Administrators     

                            c.      Right-click on the Content Admin role and choose Copy.

                            d.      Right-click the folder in which you want to create the tenant-specific role and choose Paste as Delta Link. We recommend you create the new role in the tenant's Role folder (Portal Content/Tenants/<Tenant Name>/Roles).

                            e.      A delta link to the role is created in the folder you selected.

                              f.      Right-click on the new role and choose Change ID.

                            g.      Navigate through the wizard, and enter the tenant name in the New Object ID Prefix field.

Make sure to enter the tenant name for portal roles in lower-case letters. For example, enter tenanta.

                            h.      Save your changes.

       3.      Assign the delegated content administration role to the tenant user as described in Assigning Roles to Users and Groups.

For example, assign the tenant user TenantA\contentadmin to the tenant role tenanta.content_admin_role.

       4.      Assign necessary portal permissions to the new role. As a guideline, refer to the section "Permissions" in Initial Folders, Content, and Permissions for Tenants (notice where the portal assigns default permissions to a newly created Content Admin role).

 

...

Result

You have created a tenant content administrator. Users assigned to this role can now log on to the portal as tenant content administrator (see Logging on as a Tenant User).
