Hi Vishal,

you need to assign the VC role to your user. You will find the role under pcd:portal_content/com.sap.gm.cnt/core/VCRole.

Which datasource have you searched in Useradministration for VCRole? Search in Portal Role Datasource.

I can find VCRole in pcd:portal_content/com.sap.gm.cnt/core/VCRole

Hi Vishal,

The role you are searching for is correct, and it ihas to be searched in User Administration itself. The name <b>VCRole</b> is also correct.

Can you try not entering any string in the search field. Just enter * and search for all the roles. Now go through all the roles, and see if you are able to find anything similar.

Bye

HI Vishal

I checked the <a href="https://www.sdn.sap.comhttp://www.sdn.sap.comhttp://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/wiki?path=/display/vc/portal">vc Wiki</a> and found the following:

you cannot find these roles, then make sure that you have installed the following files:

Goto the SWDC -> http://service.sap.com/swdc

Click on SAP Support Packages -> Entry by Application Group -> SAP Netweaver -> NETWEAVER -> (NW04s or applicable) -> Entry by Component -> Enterprise Portal

Scroll all the way to the bottom and download the following files for deployment

Visual Composer Base

VCBASE08P_1-10003602.SCA <-- Newer than what you listed before

Visual Composer Flex

VCFLEX08P_1-10003616.SCA

Visual Composer Framework

VCFRAMEWORK08P_1-10003624.SCA

Visual Composer GP Kits 7.00

VCKITGP08_0-10003617.SCA

Visual Composer XX Kits 7.00

VCKITXX08_0-10003615.SCA

Web Dynpro Extensions 7.00

WDEXTENSIONS08_0-10003618.SCA

The VCRole and other VC content is part of com.sap.visualcomposer.portalcontent.sda that is included in VCFRAMEWORK08_0-10003624.

Hi,

you have to assign VCRole to the user.

https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/VC/Roles+needed

In the VC Wiki here in SDN you can find a FAQ which could be helpful for getting started with VC.
