When logging in on Lawson Mingle (or portal direct), you may receive an error “You are not authorized to access this site” even though your user is all setup with the proper security in Lawson.

The highlighted error indicates that the user has been authenticated but is not authorized to access the application. This indicates that the issue is likely within Infor Federation Services for Infor Ming.le 11.1.x or Security Administration for Infor OS.

 

To resolve, a Lawson administrator with access to Infor Federated services will have to login to IFS.

Type in the domain\user and click filter

You can clear workunit logs and activities for workunits with Completed or Canceled status to minimize the amount of data related to workunits that is stored on your system without deleting the important information, such as execution date/time and user actions, for a workunit.

You can delete logs and activities for workunits from the active Workunits list or from Workunit History.

• Archive workunits in history.

To hide completed workunits from workunit lists but not delete them and their associated data, you can move the workunits to history. Workunits retain all associated data for as long as they remain in history.

• Permanently delete all workunit data.

It is possible to permanently delete workunit data. If you have old data that you know you will never again need, deleting the data, which can become quite large, might be a good idea.

1. Access the Process Server Administrator and select Administration > Work Units > Work Units
2. Click Actions > Schedule Logs And Activities Deletion.

The Delete Logs and Activities dialog box is displayed.

1. Select one or more of the types of records you to delete from these options:

1. • Delete Work Unit Logs And Activity Logs: Delete all log data for workunits and activities.

1. • Delete Activities And Activity Variables: Delete activity records.

1. • Delete Work Unit Variables: Delete workunit variable information.

1. Select the records to process. The action processes only workunits with a status of Completed or Canceled. Specify a method for selection:

Work Unit Completion Date Range

To process workunits within a specific range, select a begin and end date.

Work Unit Completion Days Range Prior to Current Date

To process workunits within a range of completion days prior to current date, specify the number of days prior to the current date. For example, if the date is February 1 and you want to clear January data, specify 31 in Begin Days and 1 in End Days.

Work Unit Range

To process workunits by work unit number, select begin and end workunit numbers.

1. Click OK to run the action or click Schedule to schedule the action to run.

 

If one of your users in Lawson Portal or Mingle is receiving this error (or similar), a Lawson Security administrator will have to follow the steps below.

1. Login to Lawson Administrator Tool
2. Go to Use Management > User Maintenance
3. Query the user who is having the issue.
4. Right-click on their record and choose ‘Edit Lawson Environment Information’.
5. Make sure the user has a data area set. Edit >> Change after changing.
   1. Alternatively, if the data area is already set, select Edit >> Change. Reminder, if you are using ISS, hit the save icon. (You do not need to actually add or change anything on this form/screen.) This creates the R_USER record in the GEN database.
6. In Lawson portal (or mingle, selecting the globe icon), if you’re a portal admin, you should see an option to Clear IOS Cache.
7. Have the user that was encountering the error close all of their web browsers Internet Explorer (IE), Chrome, Edge, etc and then open a new web browser session and log in again.

Note: LSF 9 ONLY – LAUA users: If the user has the attribute CheckLS=No, the user may also need an LAUA Security Class assigned to their Operating System account via LAUA.
