SmartEdit Site dropdown is empty

[djboyd4715]

V2105 ( upgrade from 6.4 CCV1/CMSCockpit) now using SmartEdit.

I created an employee who is a member of the cmsmanagergroup only.

They can bring up smartedit, but the site dropdown is empty.

I checked https://me.sap.com/notes/0002825532 but I do not want these employees to be members of the admin group.

I also went through Assigning Users and Usergroups to Content Catalogs

What am I missing?

Hello @samuel.yang

We are running on CCV2 and doing testing of SMARTEDIT in S1

When I make a call to /cmswebservices/v1/sites either using backoffice or API URL I get the following

<errorList>
<errors>
<message>Access is denied</message>
<type>AccessDeniedError</type>
</errors>
</errorList><br>

When I made the call to /cmswebservices/v1/sites was from the browser, should I be using a tool like PostMan and set the username/password for basic auth

I have cmsmanager who is a member of groups: previewmanagergroup and cmsmanagergroup. cmsmanagergroup has relationship to our content catalog.

The members of the CMSManagerGroup do not belong to the Admin Group, so they are not able to log into the backoffice.

Should these employees be members of both CMSManagerGroup and AdiminGroup

Hi David,

Did you see any Javascript errors in the browser console?

Could you check that the below API call is sending back the sites data from the backend?

GET https://<your_server_domain_port>/cmswebservices/v1/sites

Otherwise, please login Backoffice as a member of the cmsmanagergroup and check if you can see the sites, make sure this member has the at least read access to the content catalogs and cms sites.
