Developing an access control strategy
You can restrict access to selected users and groups to the views within an authoring portlet, the items managed by the authoring portlet, and to elements and pages displayed within a Web site.
The users and groups used by IBM® Workplace Web Content Management™ to set user access and security are managed by Member Manager. See the Member Manager chapter in the WebSphere Portal Express Information Center for further information.
- Using item type roles within a library
You define the role of a user or group for each item type used within a library. The roles determine the default library access of a user or group, as well as defining different access to individual tasks and views within the authoring portlet. - Defining roles within a library
You define item type roles within the Portal Content section of the IBM WebSphere® Portal Express administration portlet. - Library access control example
This example shows how item type roles can be used to grant different groups specific access to different features in the authoring portlet. - Item security
You use access controls on IBM Workplace Web Content Management items to determine what level of access as user or group has to an item, and who has access to an item on the live Web site. - Granting users or groups access to an item
Specify the access control settings for the current item to designate which users have access to an item and their level of access. The access section is common to all item forms. - Batch-editing access controls
An administrator can apply access control settings for multiple items.
