Portal User Permissions

According to the prerequisites, if an iView is based on a system object defined in your system landscape, you must assign user permission for the relevant user, group, or role to the system object, as well.

User permissions assigned to a system permits the iView to retrieve data from the respective back end application through the system object at runtime.
