Hello Community!

I’m assisting with an IFS upgrade, and the topic of Lobby pages came up. Try as I might, I’m not able to do anything other than view IFS-provided Lobby pages in the post-upgraded instance. I’ve made sure to grant the related presentation objects (EE_LOBBY_DESIGN, EE_LOBBY_VIEW, EE_LOBBY_IN_CONTEXT_EDIT, EE_LOBBY_IN_CONTEXT_VIEW) although I would think just the EDIT and DESIGN POs would be appropriate by themselves.

After confirming all 4 presentation objects were granted, assigned the permission set to the subject user, refreshed the security cache and then logging back in produces the same issue of not being able to perform any management nor modification of the any of the IFS Lobby objects.

When I enter in the URL for the Data Source Designer in IFS IEE (bypassing the Navigator), I receive a security error and a more interesting one stating that the Lobby Designer Tools are not installed.

Has anyone else encountered this sort of issue before, and if so, what was the resolution? Thank you!

Regards,

Randy G.

Hi @EsiRandyG 

try this structure in your permission set:

 

 

Hi @Link,

Appreciate you taking the time to try and help, but my lobby permission set has the same presentation objects granted as what you’ve noted in your screen captures. I went ahead and recreated the permission set, just for fun, and the behavior is still the same.

More detail that might help with the resolution is below.

  1. Running application as the app-owner.
  2. Created and assigned lobby permission set to app-owner.
  3. App-owner is able to see the Lobby Overview, but is not able to make any modifications/configurations of pre-loaded RnD Lobby pages.
  4. Not able to access the Data Source Designer nor the Element Designer via the IFS Navigator or using the URL bar in the IEE client.

I took a look at the Debug Console, specifically the Framework communication from the client to the MiddleWare server. The step that seems to initiate the Security error is this line FeatureActivating before it hits some security / dependency error and displaying the error in my original post.

Edit: Added screen-capture.

Did some additional research. Looking at a different thread, it took me to the Lobby installation and security document (link: https://docs.ifs.com/techdocs/Foundation1/040_administration/220_user_interface/280_lobby/060_security/default.htm#SalesPart). The piece that has me puzzled: what the heck is a “designer” Sales Part? Surely not a record in the SalesPart LU?

I’ve determined root cause: they have not ordered the FNDCPD (IFS Lobby Designer) module from IFS. For others who may encounter this issue, make sure that IFS Lobby Designer is listed in the Installed Components screen (for IEE.)

Randy
