How to hide Backoffice navigation-node based on user group in? - sap-commerce-cloud

I am working with Hybris backoffice and I am trying to hide specific navigation nodes based on user groups. So I have tried to define a merge-by attribute
in the context tag along with principal group as shown below.
<context component="explorer-tree" merge-by="principal" principal="myRestrictedGroup">
<!-- other nodes... -->
<navigation-node id="Restricted" merge-mode="remove"/>
</context>
I have also created a user who is assigned to the restricted group (myRestrictedGroup).
But when logging in as the restricted user or any other user the node is hidden. For any group/user the node is not visible including "admin". I was expecting the node to be visible to all users that do not belong to the "myRestrictedGroup" but this does not seem to be the case.
I am running Hybris 6.6.
I was following documentation I found online as it seemed to be what I was looking for. However, I did notice the documentation lists few older versions of 6.0. ( I did not see 6.6)

There is actually on additional layer of abstraction between standard hybris user groups and backoffice, it's called the Authority Group
So, what it may boil down to for your example to work:
create a new "Backoffice Role" (subtype of User group)
set the Authorities (the property is found in the Administration tab) of this role to myRestrictedGroup
Assign the role to the users to hide the navigation node

Kentico roles and ui personalization

I need to give permissions to edit/create/destroy pages in a node to a group of users.
I've created a group and added a test user to that group.
I can't seem to give permission to the Pages application so see if i can see the node.
I also added game this role permissions at the node level too.
Ideally this editor role would be able to create new sub pages, which also means being able to upload media.
Your new user must have editor privilege level (you can edit user in Users application). If you want to provide ability to see content in Pages app you have to grant the user with Browse tree and Read permission (content module). To satisfy your scenario you need to grand user with Modify and Create permissions, too (maybe Design?).
Just FYI: The approach provided by Brenden (cloning the role) is very handy but there a is chance you grant the user with permission you don`t want to provide (inappropriate permissions for original role).
I've found the most efficient method is review the out of the box roles provided by Kentico and clone the one which fits closest to your needs. Then modify your cloned role to add/remove abilities and permissions.
If you're unsure of what each role can and cannot do, create a new test user with one of the roles assigned to them and log in as them. Do the same for all the roles you want to test until you find the one closest to what you're looking for.

Sitecore website: show/hide menu items based on logged in user role

I'm building a sitecore 7.2 using asp.net MVC 5.0. The site will have login and each user will be roles.
We need to show/hide the site menu items based on logged in user Roles. The user detail and roles are stored in SAP backend.
Could someone please advise what's the best way to achieve above?
Essentially you will want to map the roles stored in your backend system to Sitecore Roles. Potentially look into creating a custom Role Provider (see in document below)
Once logged in, requests are made to Sitecore are made in context of that logged in user. Therefore if the user, or their role, does not have permission to view an Item, it will not be returned in the request. This effect means that your Menu will not display items they do not have permission to access.
You and Content Editors can control what users and roles can access via the Security Editor and view their access rights via the Access Viewer in the Content Editor.
This documents will have everything you need - http://sdn.sitecore.net/upload/sitecore6/sc61keywords/security_api_cookbook_usletter.pdf
http://sdn.sitecore.net/upload/sitecore6/securityadministratorscookbook-usletter.pdf
Its also worth noting that Sitecore's seucirty manages roles as Ors. So if one of the user's role has permission to see an Item, then the user can see it.
If you require the roles to be Ands; every role must have permission before its displayed to the user, check this post out - http://www.sitecore.net/learn/blogs/technical-blogs/john-west-sitecore-blog/posts/2015/03/require-membership-in-multiple-roles-in-the-sitecore-aspnet-cms.aspx
You need the roles for the current user from SAP? There is an Odata API for that: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw73ehp1/helpdata/en/4c/5bde6197817511e10000000a42189b/content.htm
You could query the API in real-time, but it would of course require a login to SAP for the current user.
Or - you could use another API and connect via a service user.

How to deactivate a liferay user for particular organization?

I have a requirement to deactivate a user for a particular organization.In liferay we deactivate the user directly by control panel under users tool.if i deactivate,The user will deactivate in portal level so it is applicable to all organizations not to particular organization.so can i do manual code for this or is there any alternative by default?
User Management in Liferay is global - to the whole portal. You authenticate to the portal, thus a deactivated user can't be authenticated to the portal.
You can make users members of Organizations or site - and this membership (or other organization- or site-level roles) can be used to provide them with permissions.
If you want them to be able to sign in, don't deactivate them. If you don't want them to access a certain organization, make the content of that organization available to members only - and exclude the user from the members of that organization.
OK you could do this in code level ,
User singleUser=UserLocalServiceUtil.getUser(userId)
singleUser.setStatus(WorkflowConstants.STATUS_DENIED);
UserLocalServiceUtil.updateUser(singleUser);
So basically setting User Status to either WorkflowConstants.STATUS_DENIED, WorkflowConstants.STATUS_EXPIRED or WorkflowConstants.STATUS_INACTIVE will do the work of deactivating particular User.
But you need to research on the aftermath effect of these status field.

Where security role is used

I have created a form for a specific group of users in my CRM 2011 system. I want only them to be able to see this form. I can copy their a security role and set the form for this security role only, but I will have a a problem:
they are currently in a security role with another group of users. If I copy the security role, the will not longer see the specific customization's all over across the system.
I only want one form to be different from the others. Is there any way I can find all the forms that are enabled for the specific security role (in order to give the new role this rights too)?
Assumptions based on your question: You already have default form for the entity that is used by all users (All Users). You want to add an additional form to that entity that is only available to some of the users (Select Users). All Users are currently assigned a security role that gives them the necessary access to the system.
Create a new security role (Form Specific Role). You don't have to give this role any privileges just a name.
Assign the Select Users the Form Specific Role. Do NOT remove their other security role(s).
Add the new form the entity, Restricted Form.
Highlight the new form and click Enable Security Roles. Select the option Display only to these selected security roles and select the Form Specific Role you created in step # 1. Make sure Enabled for fallback is unchecked. Click Ok.
From the forms list Form Order and select Main Form Set (or the appropriate form type if you are working on a Mobile or Quick Create Form.
Use the Up/Down arrows to make the new, Restricted Form, the top choice.
Save and Publish all changes.
Now whenever a user that has been assigned the security role accesses this entity their default form choice will be the Restricted Form. There will be NO impact to any other forms they are accessing or any of their privileges in the rest of the system, as required by your problem statement.

Cognos Planning 10 -- Setting up user security

I am editing user security and am trying to give a user access to an e.List item. I select the user using the [...] button and successfully find that user by searching in our AD domain.
After I select the user and press OK, that user does not come into the CAC, just this error The filter will only accept groups and roles. Users will not be added to the filter. I don't see any filters here at all.
Have you seen this before and is it possible to set up security by users?
Thank you,
WE
Answer from ericlfg on http://www.cognoise.com/community/index.php/board,15.0.html:
Hi William,
The message you are receiving is by design. In order to add a specific user, rather than a group or role, that use needs to be a member of some kind of hierarchy in your security provider.
Ex: If you're using cognos groups and roles with a Role called "Test". You would populate this test role with members from your namespace. In the CAC, you would then select the Test group when you click on the elipsis and then that will allow you to select your individual user (or alternatively the Test role).
The same would be true if you're trying to add members directly from your 3rd party authentication provider. The individual users need to be part of a roll-up role or group in order to add that roll-up role or group to the filter. Once added to the filter you can select the individual users.
Hope this helps.
