Quicklink for Pages in Standard Roles

[Former Member]

Hi All,

I have developed custom top level navigation(with dropdonlist). As per my requirements, I have to use quick links for all pages. So that my custom toplevel navigation only supports for quick link.

Now, I want to add Custom Admin and User Admin roles to some users. These roles are not having quick links as default. So that we have to change in standard roles. Is it correct way that I am doing?

While transporting content, we canu2019t transport standard roles. Because, it may affect destination server, if SP or patch level is different.

Is there any other solution to solve this issue?

First one question: How do you stop the user not using a quick link?

You can make your own version of the standard roles by copying them and then adding the quicklinks in the copied version of the role. Not easy to support...

Hi Michael and Raghu,

Thanks for your quick reply.

@ Michael, Sorry I am not getting your question.

I have tried already as you told. I have duplicated content admin, content administration workset role and portal content page. In that, I have added quick link and assigned to a user.

And also, I have given permission to portal content folder. But It shows a runtime error in Portal Content Page.

Note: If I add Standard Content Admin role to this user, this duplicted portal content page is working. I have added this role in system princple also. Is there any other special permissions need to be given for this duplicated role.

Thanks,

Hi Venkatesh,

You told that you have created a duplicate role, then assign that duplicate role using identity management.

Venkatesh,

I have tried your scenario now. You'll have to change the object id prefix before assigning the custom role. Change the prefix to the parent folder which you copy. This will solve your runtime error.

And Michael was saying, even though you provide quick links to all the contents, you cant avoid end users using the links directly instead of quick links.

When you say that you can only access the portal by quicklinks, how do you stop a user not using the quicklinks?

The duplicated role may not be enough. There are some features that are tied to the role name, so you also need to find any permissions that are based on the old roles and add the new roles...

Hi,

PCD content that starts with com.sap.... as id cannot be transported. All standard iviews/pages/workset/roles starts with com.sap..... as id. these cannot be transportd.

Best way is you can duplicate the role/page/iview/workset and change the id from com.sap to your desired id as com.abc....

Then you can transport it easily.

But becareful. dont change the standard ones. better change only duplicate ones.
