Develop 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.


How access and security levels are set

There are three levels of access controls for Web content

Library:

Library level access controls determine access to the library as a whole.

If granted, it provides an entry point to the library. A user needs at least contributor access to a library in order to have access to it on the Authoring Portlet.

Item type per library:

Item Type access controls define the item type views and tasks a user can access within the authoring portlet for particular library. The permissions set for item types in a library do not automatically give you access to individual items. They only give you access to specific tasks and views within the authoring portlet.

Item level:

Item level access controls define the actions that a user can perform on an individual item.

For example, a Manager to the Components type has access to the Purge and Unlock actions but, if that user does not also have Manager access to an individual component then the Purge and Unlock actions will not be enabled when that component is selected.
