Web content authoring environments
In a web content authoring environment, a web content administrator performs the following tasks:
Create new pages
An administrator might need to create new pages to display additional authoring portlets used by different users, or for displaying web content viewer portlets to preview sites within.
Configure an authoring portlet
Each authoring portlet in an authoring environment needs to be configured to ensure that it has been configured correctly for the users using each authoring portlet.
Configure a web content viewer portlet
Each web content viewer portlet in an authoring environment needs to be configured to display the content that is being previewed.
Create web content libraries
The web content administrator creates has a set of web content libraries based on the recommendations of the web content architect.
Clone a web content repository
Before enabling syndication, a web content administrator, with a database administrator, clones a web content repository from the authoring environment to other environments.
Manage syndication
Syndication relationships are normally created on subscriber servers. As you typically syndicate only out from an authoring environment to other environments, you would not normally create a syndication relationship from an authoring environment, but a web content administrator might need to manage syndication settings and configurations from time to time.
Create and manage feed configurations and jobs
Sometimes web content is stored and maintained in external systems. Use Web Content Integrator to consume content from external systems using feeds.
Tune an authoring environment configuration settings
Authoring environment configuration settings can be tuned for specific features.
Web content delivery environments
In a web content delivery environment, a web content administrator performs the following tasks:
Create new pages
An administrator might need to create new pages when displaying content using web content viewer portlets.
Configure a web content viewer portlet
Each web content viewer portlet in a delivery environment needs to be configured to display the correct content.
Manage syndication
A web content administrator creates syndication relationships to the delivery environment from the web content staging and authoring environments.
Tune a delivery environment configuration settings
Delivery environment configuration settings can be tuned for specific features.
In a UAT environment:
A user acceptance testing environment is set up like authoring and delivery environments depending on the type of UAT being performed. The tasks required to set up the UAT environment are the same as those for the authoring and delivery environments.
The security administrator
A security administrator is responsible for securing the overall system including access control strategies and firewalls.
Implementing the security plan outlined in the security architecture document:
The security administrator is responsible for deploying the security features and processes outlined in the security architecture document developed by the security architect.

Manage access control
The security administrator manages access controls to pages, portlets, modules, and other applications.
Additional security tasks
There are various other tasks carried out by the security administrator depending on what environment is being used.
The development team
Overview
Based on the design documents developed by the technical design team, the development team is responsible for creating custom applications using the product API.
The portlet developer
The portlet developer is responsible for developing new portlets.The portlet developer is primarily responsible for creating custom portlets used to aggregate content and function from external applications. The portlets they develop are based on the portlets identified in the design document.
Theme developer
A theme developer is responsible for creating new themes based on the designs developed by the information architect and the graphic designer.Theme developer is primarily responsible for creating custom themes based on the Web site designs outlined in the design architecture and the HTML used in the website prototype. Themes are has a set of JSPs, images, and style sheets packaged together in a common directory structure. They can either be packaged directly in the wps.war or inside a separate WAR file of their own, or with other themes, skins, and resources.
The web content developer
A web content developer is responsible for extending Web Content Manager using the Web Content Manager API, developing JSP components and creating web content plug-ins.
We can use the Web Content Manager API to extend the functions of Web Content Manager.
Custom authoring interfaces
Custom authoring interfaces are used by content authors as an alternative to using the authoring portlet.
We can create custom plug-ins to add custom features to your site such as custom workflow actions and text providers for multi-locale sites.

The website creation team
Overview
Based on the design documents developed by the technical design team, the website creation team is responsible for creating the website and related systems.
The website creator
A website creator is responsible for building a website by creating presentation templates, authoring templates, site areas, components and categories. The web site creator is also responsible for creating content management items such as folders and workflows. The items created by a website creator are based on the designs created by the information architect and graphic designer.
Create web content management items
Before creating a website, the web content creator begins by creating any required content management items:
Folders are used to store item-types within logical groupings.
Workflows are required to manage the approval processes of items.
Projects are used to manage the approval process of a collection of items.
Create a website
To create a website the following Web Content Manager items will need to be created:
Site areas Site areas are used to define the site framework of a site. Content items that form part of the site framework will be stored within the site framework. Authoring templates Authoring templates are required for the different types of pages in a website. Content items created by content authors will be based in the authoring templates created by the website creator. Presentation templates Presentation templates determine the layout of the pages in a website and are linked to authoring templates by the template maps defined in site areas. Elements and components Elements are added to authoring templates and site areas to store different types of content. Components are used to create single elements that can be reused across a website. Categories Categories are used to profile items that have been configured to allow content profiling.
The web content author
A web content author is responsible for creating web content for the sites developed and managed using Web Content Manager.Content authors create content either by accessing an authoring portlet, or using a custom content authoring interface.
Presentation templates determine the layout of the pages in a website and are linked to authoring templates by the template maps defined in site areas.
Work with elements and components
Elements are added to authoring templates and site areas to store different types of content. Components are used to create single elements that can be reused across a website.
The web content manager
A web content manager is responsible for performing ongoing site maintenance activities.
Moving, linking and copying items:
From time to time a web content manager will need to redesign the structure of a website by moving or copying items.
From time to time a web content manager will need to reapply or change the authoring template used by content items and site areas.
From time to time a web content manager will need to restore an item to a previously saved version.
