Do we have to have system admin role for pdk???!!!

[Former Member]

Hi ,

Pdk Is meant for Java developers.and we have a requirement where developers will not be given system admin role, but just java developer role, that comes with PDK(to deploy, download, par applications)

i was going through the weblog

and in that it is mentioned ·

"To ensure that you have the correct permissions to run all the applications in the business package, you must be assigned to the following portal roles:

Role ID Description

pcd:portal_content/administrator/super_admin/super_admin_role Super Administration

pcd:portal_content/com.sap.pct/administrator/super_admin/com.sap.portal.super_admin_role Super Administration "

if the pdk has to have system admin role, then there is no meaning that it comes with java developer role .

can anyone tell me if i understood it a wrong way .

please help

Thanks,

Lakshmi.

Hi Lakshmi,

The Java developer role only comes with Component manager and Component Inspector and some plugins for IDE.

To work just with PDK a Java Developer role is fine, but once the PAR is deployed, a developer has to login and create the iview from that par.For this he needs a Content Admin Role.

I have gone through the link mentioned by you and it says u need to have superadmin role,every user,conent admin role for all the iviews to work correctly which is true this way.

If your iview is talking to the backend system u need access to the backend and to create a System object u need a System Admin role.

So, along with the Java developer role, a developer has to have ContentAdmin and SystemAdmin roles.

Hope this helps.

Hi Thanks a lot.

so as such to deploy the par files the developer need not have system adim role . is that correct?

we are thinking of using Pdk just to give the developers the ability to deploy portal components.

Creation of iviews and system objects will be done by basis team.

but in i was under the impression that the iviews in PDK(one for deployement and browsing) will work only if the user has sstem admin role along with the java developer role.

can you please check that again if you have PDK and let me know. as i was having problem with pdk import still.

Thanks,

Hi,

I have tested with my PDK now and found the following:

Java developer role alone is not sufficient to deploy the par.In addition u need the Content admin role also, but no the system admin role.

So, system admin role is not required to deploy and create the iviews.

Hope this clears your doubts.

Thanks,

Hi Vasu,

Finally i was able to import PDK , what you have said is correct.Developers need not have system admin permissions as it was mentioned in the document.

thanks,

Lakshmi,
