Configuring Permissions

During installation, a predefined role - the VC Role - is deployed in the portal as part of the initial Visual Composer content. This role has all the necessary permissions to allow a user to perform modeling tasks while working with Visual Composer Storyboard, such as create, develop, manage and deploy models to the portal. The role includes full permissions for the Visual Composer folder in the portal. Additionally, each user should be assigned read permissions in order to access data services located on the back-end systems accessed through the portal.

1. Set permissions to security zones, to give End User control to the VC Role on all medium-safety content:

   1. Choose  System Administration  Permissions  Portal Permissions .

   2. In the Portal Catalog, open the Security Zones folder and then the sap.com/NetWeaver.Portal/medium_safety folder.

   3. For the following objects in the medium_safety folder, assign End User permissions:

      • com.sap.vc.mmcompiler

      • com.sap.visualcomposer

      • com.sap.visualcomposer.portalconnector

      Information about security zones can be found in the Portal Administration Guide on SAP Help Portal at help.sap.com /nw70  SAP Library  SAP NetWeaver Library  SAP NetWeaver by Key Capability  People Integration by Key Capability  Portal  Portal Administration Guide  System Administration  Permissions, Role/User Distribution and Object Locking  Portal Permissions  Security Zones. 

   4. Use the Setting Permissions procedure accessed from the same Portal Permissions path:  Permissions Editor  Setting Permissions in the Permissions Editor .

2. Assign End User permissions to VC Role for the following content:

   pcd:portal_content/templates/pages/portalpagetemplate

   pcd:portal_content/templates/pages/wdProxyPage

   pcd:portal_content/templates/layouts/fullWidth

   pcd:portal_content/templates/iviews/wdProxyiView
