Overview
The views that a user can access within the authoring portlet is determined by the level of access they have to each item type in a Web content library.
While many users will use the standard authoring portlet, we can customize an authoring portlet specifically for content creation. We can also configure IWWCM libraries to control user's access to the different sections of the authoring portlet user interface.
Assign Web content library roles to content authors
The views that a user can access within the authoring portlet is determined by the level of access they have to each item type in a Web content library.
You only assign content authors edit access to the content item type. You may also assign edit access to the component item type if required. You would assign no access to all other item types in a library to hide all other views within the authoring portlet.
Create a custom content creation user interface
We can configure an authoring portlet to use a custom launch page instead of the default user interface.
To use this feature for a content authoring system, you would need install and configure a second authoring portlet just for content authors.
