Personas 3. Default flavor versus flavor assignment in scripts

[Former Member]

Hello Personas group,

we are assigning flavors to roles using standard admin settings including setting the default flavor. Our user base does not the have the authorization to select a flavor (so we did create a new role based on the consumer role and took the 'select flavor' authorization off), they just use what is given to them.

We have some transactions that have several flavors and control this using regular scripting. (session.utils.changeFlavor(<GUID>)). That does not work for the users with the restricted role but for all other users that have an admin/editor role.  The restricted user always gets the default flavor, not the one specified in the script call. If that is intentional and the script runs in the security context of the logged on user (and thus cannot switch flavors)  how do I change a flavor on such a a user base?

thanks

Stephan

Hello Stephan,

I understand what you are trying to achieve: You want to switch to a flavor dynamically based in certain criteria via a script while at the same time not letting users pick for themselves.

Since the script runs in the security context of the logged in user (as you have already suspected) this is currently not possible. I have discussed this internally already and without making any promises on actual delivery or delivery date we will consider this in our planning for future features.

Best Regards,

Clemens

I have the same requirement. Is this feature available now in sap screen personas ?

If I remember correctly, this should work already... try it with your example scenario, using the session.utils.changeFlavor script command and see the result. Then, please report back confirming whether you were successful. This will help others having the same requirement.
