hi

yes you have to use enterprise portal for that.

you have convert the webdynpro application to the enterprise portal iviews and you have to create roles and users and assign the users to the roles.the folowing link may be useful

Hi Anand,

Capture the roles in webdynrpo using the portal runtime APIs

IUser user = request.getUser();

Iterator roles_itr = user.getRoles(true);

while (roles_itr.hasNext())

{

try

{

String uniqueID = roles_itr.next().toString();

IRole userRole = UMFactory.getRoleFactory().getRole(uniqueID);

if(userRole.getDisplayName().equalsIgnoreCase("<role name>"))

{

you can make the manipulations here

}

}

catch (Exception e)

{

}

You can embed the views in a view set and fire the views according to the roles

You can also play with visibility.

Attach the visibility property of the UI elements to an attribute having type visibility and change it accordingly

Hope this helps you
