I have a situation where I need to be able to assign users a role that gives them the administration rights of the MR Group Authorization Manager, but also the priveleges of the Developer Role. Has anyone come across a way to customize the roles like that? Has anyone else had a need to do something similar and handled it a different way?

Thanks!

I think I have both functions combined in my role. I can do everything.

Frank,

I think you gave just the nudge I needed to see the piece I was missing. Thanks. I can set the User as a developer, and then give them administration rights to specific groups. Problem solved. When I was looking at adjusting settings like that, I was only looking at giving admin rights on the domain, but you can't do that for the developer like you do for the user. This will work fine. Now how to figure out how to get webfocus to handle duplicate user IDs... Any Suggestions on that?

Eric

Why would you give out duplicate user ids. That won't work. We use the user ids for all logins. Single signe on.

I know! It sounds silly! Users are supposed to be unique right?! How would you know which password to validate against if they aren't unique? Well in my case they won't be. My user base is stored in LDAP where the User IDs are unique by Group. This presents the situation that I could have JDOEuser in Group A and another JDOEuser in Group B. We are also using SSO so I have to utilize those IDs. I can't create my own.

We have the users for WebFOCUS stored in an RDBMS. My current thought is to create another key in the table for group so my unique records would be based on User and Group(Not to be confused with a WebFOCUS group). From there I should be able to adjust the SQL statements to select users based on that key. I still have the problem though of how to get the group value into a variable that I can pass. And then, once I have that, how do I pass it to the SQL Statements. Any thoughts?
