Creating a user with Studio privileges in EP Security

StepsCreating a new user to access Studio assets and security

  1. Start Portal Studio using IE on Windows, by entering the following URL, substituting your host name, domain, and port number:

    http://$HOSTNAME.$PORTALDOMAIN:port/onepage/index.html
    

    NoteThe default port for accessing the Enterprise Portal is 8080. If, however, EAServer ports must be changed because of port conflicts, the actual port may be different. Check the installation log for the actual port number.

    For example, if your machine name is “labnt”, your portal domain is sybase.com, and your port number is 8080, you enter:

    http://labnt.sybase.com:8080/onepage/index.html
    

    This brings up the Portal Studio login page.

  2. If you performed a typical installation, enter the user name “pso” and the password “123qwe” (the default user name and password assigned during installation).

    If you performed a custom installation, enter the user name “pso” and the password that you created for the pso during installation (the default is “123qwe”).

    NoteTo access Portal Studio, your browser must allow pop-up windows.

  3. In the Associate Resource dialog box, select Portal and click OK.

    Click OK to close the confirmation dialog.

  4. Select Administer | Organizations from the menu in the left pane.

  5. Select Users and click New on the Organization Manager toolbar.

    If you already created a user through Portal Interface registration, you do not need to create a new user. You can go directly to step 7.

  6. When the Create New User window displays, complete the fields. Click Help to see a description of each field.

    NoteDo not use “opsuper” for the Login Name. This name does not currently work.

  7. Click OK.

  8. Grant the new user roles to have all permissions.

    1. Right-click the new user and select List Access Permissions. When the window displays, notice that there are no permissions listed for the new user. Click OK.

    2. Right-click the new user and select Edit Roles.

    3. When the Edit User Roles window displays:

      1. Select StudioAdmin and click Add.

      2. Select PortalAdmin, and click Add.

      3. Select PortalUser, and click Add.

      4. Select ReadAllListAll, and click Add.

      The installer creates those roles with all permissions.

      Click OK.

    4. Right-click the new user and select List Access Permissions. When the window displays, notice the permissions that exist now based on the roles you granted the user.

      Click OK.

  9. Log out.

  10. Log in as the new user, and when prompted to associate the user with a resource, select Portal. Create some portlets and pages to verify the permissions that were granted to this user.

    Click OK to close the confirmation dialog.
