Adding the Portal User Roles to All User IDs

To navigate and use common features and pages, every user ID (except for the Guest user IDs) must include the delivered roles PAPP_USER and PeopleSoft User. During a PeopleTools upgrade, the role PeopleSoft User is added to all existing roles. You can update the existing user IDs to include the PAPP_USER role with the delivered PeopleSoft Data Mover script PORTAL_ADD_ROLE.DMS.

Note: Every newly created user ID should include both roles PeopleSoft User and PAPP_USER. Guest user IDs should not include these roles. After running the script, manually update the Guest user ID by replacing the PeopleSoft User role and the PAPP_USER role with the PeopleSoft Guest role and the PAPP_GUEST role.

Use PeopleSoft Data Mover to update the existing user IDs in PeopleSoft Interaction Hub to include the necessary PAPP_USER role.

There are two ways to start PeopleSoft Data Mover:

  • Using the Data Mover shortcut in your PeopleSoft program group, as in Start > Programs > <PeopleSoft Group> > Data Mover.

    This access method only applies to the Windows Development Environment.

  • Using the command line interface.

    This executes PeopleSoft Data Mover in a console for Windows and a Telnet session for UNIX.

To update the user IDs:

  1. Start PeopleSoft Data Mover and sign on to the PeopleSoft Interaction Hub database.

  2. Open the script PORTAL_ADD_ROLE.DMS in the PS_APP_HOME/scripts directory.

    Note: If the PeopleSoft Interaction Hub files were not installed in a separate PS_APP_HOME location, then this file will be found in PS_HOME instead.

  3. Run the script against the PeopleSoft Interaction Hub database.

  4. Close PeopleSoft Data Mover.
