Hi Luu,

Checkout whats the standard SAP NetWeaver Developer's Guide below (under section "Devloping Application").

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/19/4554426dd13555e10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm

See if your developers are also working on whats describled below. Once you have the confirmation on the tasks they need to work on, then you can easily identify which role they will need.

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/eb/4baa42cdccda11e10000000a155106/content.htm

This section describes how to build applications for the portal. The guide explains how to build portal applications and how to make use of services provided by the portal or the underlying J2EE engine.

The standard Portal roles can be found below: Administration Roles

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/EN/8e/f0f7415e639c39e10000000a155106/frameset.htm

In your case, you will look into just the Content Admin and System Admin. The reason why I said that System Admin could be needed by your developers is that they might need certain activities like tasks for connecting to back-end systems and applications. However, you can also do these for them, thus more control on your side.

In the above link for standard Portal roles, you will see the workset that is link to each role. If you look into the CA (http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/EN/a9/fe602e5a214237a0cd27111873505c/content.htm), you will find the Web Dynpro. What you can do here for your situation, also mentioned above, is to create a duplicate role of CA and change the functions of the duplicate CA role (for the Web Dynpro Content Administrator part) to suit your situation.

Hope that helps and ward points for helpful suggestions.

Hi,

Content admin role has to be given if user wants to create iView, page etc. Webdynpro tab requires j2ee_admin access. If the user is given content admin alone, it would be sufficient. Make sure super admin access is not given so that other admin tasks can't be done,

To create PCD content you will have to grant Content Administration (as you have rightly said) rights to the users.

If you do not want to give access to the WD and WF Content tabs -- you could create a custom content admin role by taking a copy of the original one.

Thanks,
