Authoring system access strategies

The roles you assign each library on your authoring system will determine what views and features in an authoring portlet are accessible to your users.

You should only grant each user or group access to roles and item types to match the kind of work they will perform.

For example:

• Only assign Web site designers "edit" access to authoring templates and presentation templates as they are required to create new authoring templates.

• Assign both Web site designers and Web content authors "edit" access to components if they are both required to create components.

• Content approvers are only assigned "Contributor" access to content as they are not required to create new content items, but need approve access to content items during a workflow.

• 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.
