Hello

We are running into an issue pertaining to application roles and role based permission groups. We want to give certain application roles access to the “Data Administration/Data Explorer” menu in the web portal.

The custom application role CustomAppRole that we have made is linked to the role based permission group CustomRole. We want to be able to restrict some of the data the role can view, that is why we need to make the custom roles and permission.

• ­­Scenario 1: In Designer, connecting CustomRole to the permission group vi_4_PERSONADMIN makes the menu “Data Administration/Data Explorer” available in the portal.
• Scenario 2: In Designer, connecting CustomRole to the permission group CCC_4_PERSONADMIN, a copy of vi_4_PERSONADMIN (with the same inheritance as the default group), does not let the role see the menu “Data Explorer” in the portal, meaning it does not show up at all.

In both scenarios, the only thing that is changed is whether we are using the default permission group  vi_4_PERSONADMIN or the copy CCC_4_PERSONADMIN.

Is there something we are overlooking when making the copy? Are there some filters or permission somewhere else that needs to be modified as well?

We are on version 9.1.

Regards

Anders Westby
