Restore Settings Link

The Settings link allows you to manage global system configuration for Eagle Portal. You may have accidentally removed this link from the user interface when you restricted certain users’ access to it by deselecting the checkbox. The only users who see these settings are the users in the Business Role for whom you enable it. Administrative users and end users should not use the same role. Using different roles restricts access to users who should have access to this feature.

To restrict users’ access to system configuration, deselect the Manage Portal system configuration checkbox in PACE User Manager’s User Role as shown below:

Open

To restore the Settings link, complete the following procedure:

1. Locate the PACE_MASTERDBO database.
   The portal_sys_setting_info table in the PACE_MASTERDBO database stores each setting, its description, data type category, and key id. The Settings Link has a key id value of 49.  

2. Go to the portal_sys_setting_detail table and locate key id 49.

3. Select * from portal_sys_setting_detail where key_id = '49'.
   The values for each setting based on their key_id are stored in this table’s Value column.  Boolean values such as show settings/not show settings are stored as 0 for false, 1 for true.

4. Run the update statement to change the value in Value column back to 1:
   update pace_masterdbo.portal_sys_setting_detail set value = 1 where key_id = 49

5. Recycle all PACE Appserver instances and the Portal website.

6. Log out and back into Eagle Portal to view the restored Settings link.
