ACTUAL BEHAVIOR

Portal Members are not Removed from a Portal After Revoking Permissions Using revokeAppRole WLST Command.


EXPECTED BEHAVIOR

Users should be removed from Portal UI.


STEPS

  1. Create a portal.
    e.g.:
    MC-PortalPermissions


  2. Add a user as member of the portal.
    e.g.:
    testuser1 with Portal Manager Role.


  3. Go to the Portal Administration -> General page and note down the portal internal ID.


  4. Revoke the testuser1 permissions using wlst.

    • Start wlst.

    • Connect to the AdminServer:

      connect()
       

    • Using the Portal Internal ID list the members of the portal with Portal Manager Role.

      wls:/wc_domain/domainRuntime/>listAppRoleMembers(appStripe="webcenter", appRoleName="<Portal-Internal-ID>#-#Moderator")
      Already in Domain Runtime Tree
      [Principal Clz Name : weblogic.security.principal.WLSUserImpl, Principal Name : WCADMIN, Type : ENT_USER]

      [Principal Clz Name : weblogic.security.principal.WLSUserImpl, Principal Name : TESTUSER1, Type : ENT_USER]

       

    • Revoke the Moderator Role from testuser1.

      wls:/wc_domain/domainRuntime/> revokeAppRole(appStripe="webcenter", 
      appRoleName="<Portal-Internal-ID>#-#Moderator", principalClass="weblogic.security.principal.WLSUserImpl", principalName="testuser1")
       

    • Refresh the portal cache.

      wls:/wc_domain/domainRuntime/> refreshGroupSpaceCache(appName='webcenter', spaceNames='MC-PortalPermissions', syncMode=1, updateType='all' ,cleanCache=0, server= 'WC_Portal')
       


    • Confirm the testuser1 is no longer a member of Moderator role.

      wls:/wc_domain/domainRuntime/>listAppRoleMembers(appStripe="webcenter", appRoleName="<Portal-Internal-ID>#-#Moderator")
      Already in Domain Runtime Tree
      [Principal Clz Name : weblogic.security.principal.WLSUserImpl, Principal Name : WCADMIN, Type : ENT_USER]

       

  5. Connect to WebCenter portal.

    • Go to Administer the portal.
      MC-PortalPermissions in this case.

    • Select the Security portal settings.


    • Select the Members Tab.
      Note testuser1 is still as member of the portal.
      However the user doesn't has any roles assigned.
