I had a small query regarding the links that show up in folders on the left hand side. I am not able to view some of the links, even though the checkbox for "Hide from Portal navigation" is unchecked from the Structure and Content (PeopleTools > Portal > Structure and Content). I guess the issue had come up after I ran the Portal Security Sync process, selecting the Delete Invalid Security checkbox. Since then some of the delivered links are missing and not coming up. When I try Test Content Reference, it works properly. Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated. Cheers!!

I have a question for the opposite situation. We are doing the initial upgrade from Portal 9.0 with PTools 8.48.10 to Portal 9.1 with PTools 8.50.16. How can we fix a problem when the folder is showing for some users (role based) that they are not supposed to see it. In our pre-upgrade environment, this folder was showing to certain users according to their role; now everybody can see it. Hide it it's not an option because other users needs to access it. I checked the security folder, but I don't think this is it. Comparing the folder pre-upgrade vs. post-upgrade. Pre-upgrade has all post-upgrade permission lists plus several more. I checked users' roles pre-upgrade vs. post-upgrade, and they looked the same. Am I missing something? Thanks in advance for your comments, Laura - Laura Wed, 08 Jun 2011 10:33:14 +0100 http://www.erpassociates.com/peoplesoft-corner-weblog/security/understanding-portal-security-sync.html#comment-1336 Great info on Portal security sync! loved the site! http://www.datcompros.com - wes jackson Thu, 25 Jun 2009 11:23:02 +0100 http://www.erpassociates.com/peoplesoft-corner-weblog/security/understanding-portal-security-sync.html#comment-1280 That was a long time and many clients ago, but as I recall it went something like this: delete from PSPRSMPERM WHERE PORTAL_NAME = 'EMPLOYEE' AND PORTAL_REFTYPE = 'F' AND PORTAL_OBJNAME IN ('HC_TIME_REPORTING') AND PORTAL_PERMNAME IN ('ALLPAGES') AND PORTAL_PERMTYPE = 'P' - Brent Martin Tue, 28 Apr 2009 15:17:06 +0100 http://www.erpassociates.com/peoplesoft-corner-weblog/security/understanding-portal-security-sync.html#comment-1276 In order to manually remove the unwanted Employee Self Service permission lists from the Folder Security tab of the Manager Self Service folder, and leave the Manager Self Service ones, you said you have script. would you mind sharing that sql that you run after portal security sync - lc Mon, 27 Apr 2009 03:11:53 +0100 http://www.erpassociates.com/peoplesoft-corner-weblog/security/understanding-portal-security-sync.html#comment-1264 Remember Portal Security Sync only modifies the security portion of the portal registry. It won't actually delete the obsolete folder's and CREFS. That is usually done during the initial upgrade during the copy phase. If the upgrade flags and actions were set correctly, it should have deleted the obsolete ones. No worries though: in the 9.0 Demo environment do a database compare for just the portal registry folders and content references against your 9.0 target environment. Review the objects that don't exist in the source but do exist in the target -- these should have a copy action of delete. Make sure the Upgrade flag is checked on the ones that are truly obsolete (don't check it for your custom objects obviously) and copy the project. - Brent Martin Mon, 13 Apr 2009 09:01:55 +0100 http://www.erpassociates.com/peoplesoft-corner-weblog/security/understanding-portal-security-sync.html#comment-1262 We are upgrading from HCM 8.8 to HCM 9.0 and completed the first upgrade pass. I ran the portal css with the delete checked off and it did not remove obsolete folders and CREFS. I opened a SR with Oracle but they have not been helpful. I have narrowed it down to the Recruiting folder as being the old one. If I delete a folder in HCM 9.0 DEV and run the portal css will it populate the correct folder and CREFS. Thanks for your help - Mike Allegretti Fri, 10 Apr 2009 16:29:58 +0100 http://www.erpassociates.com/peoplesoft-corner-weblog/security/understanding-portal-security-sync.html#comment-1209 Wonderful article. I am not a techie. Had hard time figuring out about the portal sync process since peoplebooks does not help much. You made my job easy...thanks!! - sri2008 Mon, 12 Jan 2009 13:52:22 +0100 http://www.erpassociates.com/peoplesoft-corner-weblog/security/understanding-portal-security-sync.html#comment-1192 Here's a tip: Clear your web server cache after running Portal Security Sync, especially after making significant folder/content reference changes. These things get cached on both the web server and browser, so clearing browser cache doesn't usually help until web server cache has been cleared first. - Brent Martin Sun, 14 Dec 2008 02:15:34 +0100 http://www.erpassociates.com/peoplesoft-corner-weblog/security/understanding-portal-security-sync.html#comment-1191 Sure, you can take App Designer access away, but I wouldn't. App Designer is a nice way for a portal admin to see which menu a component is on, or do other research to figure out why a particular content reference doesn't show up. It's easy enough to make App Designer access read-only, I don't see much advantage to taking it away altogether from a security perspective. If you don't want to "support" windows clients on workstations you might make a case that way, but you probably don't have that many portal administrators in your organization to make much difference anyway. - Brent Martin Sun, 14 Dec 2008 02:12:23 +0100 http://www.erpassociates.com/peoplesoft-corner-weblog/security/understanding-portal-security-sync.html#comment-1175 This is nice info, thanks! I'm a peoplesoft newb, and have a somewhat related question... it sounds like "portal security sync" and the "structure and content" doesn't actually need Application Designer...can i take App Designer access away from the Portal Administrator permission list. - Ricky Fri, 14 Nov 2008 15:56:40 +0100 http://www.erpassociates.com/peoplesoft-corner-weblog/security/understanding-portal-security-sync.html#comment-1145 Awesome. The greatest part is your goodness to share the knowledge.
