No access to admin portlet

[alxs]

Hi,

I've just installed Portlet 2.0 RC2 (current HEAD from CVS). I'm using a freshly installed JBoss 4.0.2.

Since we are using Sybase Anywhere for our projects I configured the Portal to use this database. Thanks to Hibernate there have been less problems with that. There have been only few issues with that database:
1. Since there was no sample properties file in build/etc I had to create one for my own
2. I had to change the setup.sql file because Sybase doesn't know about MD5('xxx')
3. I had set the dialect manually in hibernate.cfg.xml (core|forums/output/resources/portal-core|forums-sar/conf/hibernate) because the hibernate release that is packed with the portal is unable to automatically detect Sybase Anywhere. Maybe this should be changed to the dialect entered during the build-process?

There is only one problem left. After logging in as admin I'm not able to access the admin page. I get a "Sorry, you do not have access to this function." message in every window. The user is known as admin with the role "Admins".

Can anybody help?

Thanks,
Alex

Try changing the 'Admins' role to 'Admin' in the database. Similarly, 'Users' to 'User'. This changed recently.

indeed, "Admins" does not designate a role but a group of person where as "Admin" really desginates a role. Good to see that you are following us sherman :-)

This really did the job! Thank you very much.

Can you give me some hints where to start when I want to write some portlets? The Documentation doesn't seem to help.
