System content associations

System content associations are used to associate a portal page with its corresponding artifacts in Web Content Manager. A system content association is an extension of the standard content association.

A standard content association maps a web content page or web content viewer to content in a web content library. For a system content association, there is an additional system flag that distinguishes the association from a content association. Like web content associations, system content associations point to objects in a web content library. However, the objects are associated with a managed page rather than content. System content associations are managed by the portal.

The system flag is a private, read-only flag and cannot be modified programmatically through the public API or the REST API. However, we can use these interfaces to query a content association to determine whether it is a system content association or standard content association.
