Web content management roles
You define the access of a user or group for a library to determine who has access to a library, and to define access to the different views within the authoring portlet.

Tip: The simplest way to assign users to this
role is to select any of the default user groups such as "All Authenticated
Portal Users" or "Anonymous Portal User". Users require "user" access
to an item before it is rendered in a website or rendering portlet. |

These roles have no access to Web Content Manager items. |
HCL Portal Administrators automatically have Administrator access to all item-types.
A user who is assigned access to an item can always view that item in the All Items view regardless of whether they have access to the related item-type view. For example, if a user does not have access to the presentation template view, but is granted editor access to a presentation template, they can still view, but not edit, the presentation template from the All items view.
Permission assignments for optimal performance
Inheriting permissions, instead of explicitly defining access rights on individual items, simplifies access rights maintenance and improves overall system performance. Define role assignments as high as possible in the library so that they apply to the largest set of items.
Explicitly defined permissions are a powerful and flexible way to control access to an item, but when the same user or group is being granted the same role on all items within an area, or across an entire library, then inherited permission is the best option
Assigning roles to anonymous or authenticated users
When accessing a website, users login as either anonymous users, or authenticated portal users.
The following pre-defined groups can be assigned roles in a library.
Group | Details |
---|---|
Anonymous portal user | Select this user to assign a role to anonymous users. |
All Authenticated Portal Users | Select this group to assign a role to users that have logged on to your server. |
Users and User Groups | Select this group to assign a role to all users and groups. |
All Portal User Groups | Select this group to assign a role to all groups. |
