PermissionControlException when creating PCD objects using the portal API

[Former Member]

Hi,

in a portal application I'm using the portal API to create PCD objects (worksets, pages, iViews) in an own PCD folder. The portal application uses a special user which has the necessary permission to create the PCD objects in this folder. This is working properly in my development portal but similar scenarios fail in some customer portals. The PCD objects can't be created and the error message "com.sapportals.portal.pcd.gl.PermissionControlException: Access denied (Object(s): com.sap.portal.system/gpal_hidden_content/gpar/com.sap.portal.pagebuilder/pageBuilder)" is written to the portal logs.

com.sap.portal.pagebuilder is a standard portal application. I didn't need to set any permissions to it on my development portal. But even when adding permissions for the used application user in customer portals the exception remains.

Creating the PCD objects works properly even in customer portals when using an Administrator user in the portal application. So it really seems to be an permission issue.

Does anybody have an idea what the "Access denied" message really means or which permissions are missing or how to find out which permissions could be missing?

Any help is appreciated.

Best regards,

Robert
