Web Role with multiple Web Page Access Control Rules not working

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by paulsnolan 179

Hi All

 

I have a question re Web Page Access Control Rules and Web Roles. I've created a number of web pages and a Web Page Access Control Rule for each page. I've also created a Web Role for each Web Page Access Control Rule and then associated one or more contact with a role. This works fine to be able to restrict access to a page. What I would like to be able to do is have a web role that applies to more than one Web Page Access Control Rule and then associate a contact with that role.

 

I've created a role, "Portal - Full Access", with multiple associated Web Page Access Control Rules, "View Page A" "View Page B" etc. and I've associated a contact, "Test Contact 1" with that role. However, Test Contact 1 can't see any of these pages. What am I missing? If I create roles and rules one to one and then associate a role with a contact it works, but not multiple rules to one role.

    Thanks for all the replies. We had done as you instructed, the issue was that it took a good few minutes for the changes to take effect.

    Having one Web Role with multiple Access Control Rules is the norm - so not sure why you are having an issue.  Make sure that you have cleared the Portal Cache (sync in the make.power apps interface or yourportalurl/_services/about when logged in as a portal user with the Administrators web role), also make sure the user logged out and back in.
