This chapter provides conceptual information for Oracle Content Database Site-level administration. This chapter contains the following topics:
Site Administrators can provide the ability to grant public access for specific items and Library creation request for the Site folder.
Perform the following steps to assign an administrator role to a user:
Sign in to Oracle Content DB as an administrator.
Click on Switch to Administration Mode.
In the Folders pane, select the Site.
From the File menu, select Properties to open the Properties window.
Open the Sharing tab.
Enter the username of the person to which you want to add. The selected user's current administrative roles are displayed under the list of users and groups.
Select a role to assign from the Roles list.
Click Grant to assign the role to the selected user.
Click OK.
Role Administrators can perform the following tasks:
View and modify permissions associated with default and custom roles
Create custom roles by combining permissions that are available
Delete default and custom roles
Hide default and custom roles
A default role is a role that ships with Oracle Content DB. A custom role is a role created by the Role Administrator.
In addition, Role Administrators can change the order of the roles that are available to users on the Library, folder, and file levels.
Users assigned this role will be able to see the Role Administration link when they switch to Administration Mode in the Web client.
See "Oracle Content DB Security Administration" in Chapter 3 for a list of the various roles.
All Oracle Content DB users are Oracle Internet Directory users. Users are synchronized from Oracle Internet Directory into Oracle Content DB through the Oracle Internet Directory Credential Manager Agent.
The Oracle Internet Directory Credential Manager Agent is a time-based agent that polls for changes to Oracle Internet Directory users. If a user has been added, modified, or deleted in Oracle Internet Directory, the Oracle Internet Directory Credential Manager Agent makes the change in Oracle Content DB.
After users have been created in Oracle Internet Directory, users are automatically provisioned in Oracle Content DB by the Oracle Internet Directory Credential Manager Agent.
Once a user has been provisioned into Oracle Content DB, they can sign on to the application.
User Administrators manage all users and groups within a Site. User Administrators can perform the following tasks:
Set and modify user preference defaults
Enable edit -in-place for documents
Allow users to have a Personal Library
Search for all users in a Site
Add and remove members of a group
Assign a group member the Group Manager role
Create and delete groups
Restrict which users have group creation permission
User Administrators can restrict which users can create groups within the Site. By default, all users can create groups.
Group creators can specify who has access to the group membership list. The group creator can specify one of the following access permissions:
All users
Members of the group (default)
Managers of the group
Any group manager of this group or the User Administrator can modify this setting once the group has been created.
User Administrators can search for all users in a Site, as well as set and modify the following user default preferences:
Enable edit-in-place for documents
Enable each user to have a Personal Library
Specify the number of files to list in each user's My Recent Files list
Specify how often each user should be prompted for a password when using a WebDAV client
Specify the Default Document Language
Specify file types to be excluded from the My Recent Files list
Specify which character encoding should be used for multibyte URLs that are not W3C compliant
User Administrators manage all groups in a Site. They have Group Manager access for all groups in a Site, which allows them to add and remove members from a group, and assign the Group Manager role to a group member.
In addition, User Administrators can also restrict which users have group creation permission.
Once a Group Manager is assigned, then the Group Manager can modify and delete existing member properties of the groups they manage.
By associating categories with files and modifying the attributes of a category, users can organize and classify their information. Users can also search for files by category and by a category's attributes.
Users can categorize files by applying categories to them in the File Properties window. Configuration Administrators and administrators of Libraries and folders can exclude or specify required or optional categories for folders. If required, users must enter information for these categories when uploading or checking in files.
Categories can be divided into subcategories, and can have one or more attributes. Categories are created and configured for a Site by the Category Administrator�. Categories are listed and sorted by name.
Category Administrators manage categories within a Site. They can create categories for a Site and defines a hierarchy of categories and subcategories available to users in a Site. In addition, Category Administrators modify and delete categories, as well as add additional categories to any point in the category hierarchy.
Category Administrators can create, modify, and delete categories within a Site. A name must be provided for each category when it is created.
Category Administrators can also add and remove category attributes. The parameters that can be modified for an existing attribute are Prompt, Configurable, Required, Hidden , and Default Value.
Oracle Records Database (Oracle Records DB) is a records management application that ships with Oracle Content DB. To use Oracle Records DB, it must be enabled through Oracle Enterprise Manager 10g Application Server Control.
Records Administrators can perform the following:
Create, update, and delete file plans, record categories, record series, and record folders
Change content that has been declared a record back to regular content
Freeze record dispositions
Close record categories for further filings
Submit failed dispositions
Manage records management security
The Records Administrator must also have Content Administrator privileges to view and change content that has been declared a record to regular content.
