Is it possibe to make a channel visible only to some users?
Hi,
I am using iPS3.0SP3a, I have LDAP authentication enabled and I want some of the JSP provider channels that I created to be visible to only some users and not all. For example: the admin channel, this channel must be visible only to the users belonging to the admin group on the ldap server.
Any help is certainly appreciated.
Thanks

Yes, it is possible to make the channel visible to some users alone. Though the authentication is done in LDAP, the user profiles are maintained within Portal.
1) To remove the channels for particular users, we can put them in a role say test_role. Now goto Admin Console | Manage Domains | Domain_Name | test_role | open 'Applications' key and click 'Desktop'.
2) Now choose the channel you want to remove, from the 'Selected Channel' lists and 'delete'. Apply the changes to all sub-roles and submit.
3) Restart the Server for the changes to take effect.
Similarly we can do this setting for individual users as well. Hope this helps.
Thanks,
