User role switching in Constellation

Hi,

I understand that switching user role within same application is not possible in Pega Constellation as it’s a Pega Product limitation as mentioned in the below URL.

Feature changes and limitations in Constellation

Our client is requesting for role switching as mandatory to perform their day-to-day business activities and without the functionality it will impact their business actions. Requesting to provide assistance in performing some work around to make the role switching available in constellation which will be very helpful.

@ShivakumaaranC

If a user has combined roles (user, manager for example) then you need to create a separate access group / role for this combination of access.

This new Access Group should have its own portal that combines the portal pages of the manager and the user.

@ShivakumaaranC

Ideally, the Manager access group should have all the capabilities to perform the same actions as the User access group. If you need distinct user roles (such as CSR or Underwriting), consider creating a new Access Group and Acces Role that combines both sets of responsibilities.

@ShivakumaaranC

The ability to configure the multiple access groups per user for the same application is not supported in Constellation.

@ShivakumaaranCYou can switch between portals directly by passing the portal name in the URL.
If the user has access to both portals, just use the following format:

https://xxxxxx/prweb/app/?portal=

This will open the specified portal without needing a full relogin, as long as the user’s access group includes that portal.

Hi @RameshSangili,

Thanks for your response. I want to understand where we can have separate access group (such as CSR or Underwriting) and they want to explicitly switch from CSR to Underwriting and vice versa instead of creating a single access group containing the Access Roles of both the access groups. I am looking for solution around explicitly switching the access group like how we were able to perform below the constellation implementation.
