Hi ,

Please use this API to access the portal roles:

IRoleFactory fact=UMFactory.getRoleFactory();

Also see this code to get more information of role using code:

IRoleFactory rolef=UMFactory.getRoleFactory();
IRoleSearchFilter searchfilterrole= rolef.getRoleSearchFilter();
ISearchResult searchResult = rolef.searchRoles(searchfilterrole);

while(searchResult.hasNext())
{
 
String unq=(String) searchResult.next();
IRole role1=rolef.getRole(unq);
String roleName = role1.getDisplayName();
String roleID = role1.getUniqueID();
// Once you get the informationof role you can use it in your application as per your requirement.

}

Also please note that:

You should add "com.sap.security.api.jar" to your project`s java build path for getting the Portal Security API's.

I hope this solves the problem. Please revert back incase you need any further informationon this.

Thanks and Regards,

Pravesh
