Browse All TopicsI just installed the Business Portal onto our Sharepoint server. Only the administrator account can actually go to the Business Portal page, even the site admiistrator (myself) cannot. I get an "unexpected error" page from Sharepoint. When looking on the server I see event ID 1309. The interesting thing is that it says "Invalid User" and further down it shows my account name has been authenticated.
Any help would be greatly appreciated

First go to Central Administration and manually add your login to the Site Collection Administrators group for the site collection BP is installed to (Or login with the service account and do it from Site Actions > Site Settings)
Next, add your account to whichever groups you need your account to have access to. There are several SharePoint security groups at the root of the site collection, such as BP Employees, BP Internal Users, etc. Those first two are general access, and I think the BP Internal Users is the group that grants access to the entry and other basic workspaces. As an admin, you should just add your user account to all the groups that start with BP in the name.
Next, you need to link your Windows ID to the Business Portal roles, or else the web parts will error out within the various workspaces.
On the Business Portal welcome page, also go to Site Actions > Site Settings. On the bottom left you should see Business Portal Administration with a "Users" link. Logged in as the service account (or yourself once you grant the access mentioned above), configure your user, link to a backoffice ID (the SQL login for your Dynamics system), and add to all the roles.
