Reg: assigning roles to users dynamically

[sitara_kola]

Hi Experts,

Usually we assign roles to users by going to the portal using administrator Id. But my requirement is to assign more than 1 role to users without going to portal, but either by using CAF GP or WD or VC .Is it possible ? can anyone come across the same requirement?

If yes... can anyone help me solving this issue.

Regards,

You can do it programmatically from webdynpro:

*IUserAcountFactory userFactory = UMFactory.getUserAccountFactory();

// IUser - read only but with IUserAccount is possible to set up user data

IUserAccountSearchFilter userFilter = userFactory.getUserAccountSearchFilter();

userFilter.setLogonUid("superuser", ISearchAttribute.LIKE_OPERATOR, false);

ISearchResult sr = userFactory.search(userFilter);

for (final Iterator i = new PrincipalIterator(sr); i.hasNext();) {

IUserAccount user = (IUserAccount) i.next();

....

}*

Execute the same search for IRole (or IGroup if needed) get the unique id of them and use newRole(...) and addUserToRole(...) methods from IRoleFactory.

Of course you don't need search for this principals if you know uniqueness of them. Use appropriate factories to get'em all by this unique id.

Hi,

You can achieve this using:

import com.sap.security.api.IGroupFactory;
import com.sap.security.api.lFactory;
import com.sap.security.api.IUserAccount;
import com.sap.security.api.IUserFactory;
import com.sap.security.api.IUserMaint;
import com.sap.security.api.IUserSearchFilter;
import com.sap.security.api.UMException;
import com.sap.security.api.UMFactory;
public static void createEPuser throws UMException {
IUserFactory userFactory = UMFactory.getUserFactory();
IRoleFactory roleFactory = UMFactory.getRoleFactory();
IGroupFactory groupFactory = UMFactory.getGroupFactory();
IUserMaint user = null;
IUserAccount userAcc = null;
IUser epUser= null;       
//consider already existing role and group - epRole and epGroup respectively 
String uniqueIdOfRole = roleFactory.getRoleByUniqueName("pcd:portal_content/com.sap.customRoles/epRole").getUniqueID();
String uniqueIdOfGroup = groupFactory.getGroupByUniqueName("epGroup").getUniqueId();
 try { 
    user = userFactory.newUser( "miltong" ); 
    user.setFirstName( "Milton" ); 
    user.setLastName( "Ghosh" ); 
    user.setEmail( "milton.ghosh@gmail.com" ); 
    user.save(); 
    user.commit(); 
   try { 
      userAcc = UMFactory.getUserAccountFactory().newUserAccount( "Superman",user.getUniqueID));
      userAcc.setPassword( "super#1234" ); 
      userAcc.save();
      userAcc.commit();
   }catch (Exception e)
     {  System.out.println(e.toString());
     return;
     }
   String uniqueIdOfUser = user.getUniqueID();
// add user to role
   roleFactory.addUserToRole(uniqueIdOfUser ,uniqueIdOfRole );
// add user to group
   groupFactory.addUserToGroup(uniqueIdOfUser,uniqueIdOfGroup);
// delete user
   epUser=userFactory.getUserByLogonID("miltong");
   userFactory.deleteUser(uniqueIdOfUser);     
} catch (Exception exp)  
     {  System.out.println(exp.toString()); 
        user .rollback(); 
      } 
    } 

Hope this helps.

thanks & regards,
