When users are granted full edit permissions on a page, they can use Composer in WebCenter Portal and Oracle's Business Dictionary or "Resource Catalog" to customize the page in the following ways:

Add Components and Portlets: The Resource Catalog contains components and portlets, which users can add to their view of a page. Resource catalogs can contain items such as portlets, layout components, task flows, documents, Oracle ADF Faces components, business intelligence components, business activity monitoring (BAM) components, enterprise application components, Google gadgets, and more. To control which components are visible to users in the viewer, developers can modify the default Resource Catalog or create one or more of their own Resource Catalogs. The Resource Catalog can be used to deliver role-based views of these components. In this way, administrators can see one view of the Resource Catalog and business users will get a different view.
Edit Component Properties: In addition to changing visual properties of a component, task flow, or portlet, users can wire two portlets together using Oracle Application Development Framework navigational parameters. Note that you can also wire components together using Oracle WebCenter Portal: Framework.
Wire Components Together (Mash Up Components): Users can display a header or actions on the task flow, and wire the task flow to a page parameter or directly to another component to create their own mashups. For example, in an application or portal page, with the Department and Employee task flows added to the page, a user can edit the Employee task flow and define a parameter with a constant value of 10. When the user clicks the Save button, the Employee table displays details for employees with an ID of 10 only. Or, users could define a simple expression that allows the Employee task flow to be changed whenever they click on a different Department.
Edit Page-Level Properties: Users can change visual properties of the page, such as background color or page title, and create page parameters that can be used by other components on the page. For example, if a page contains a Sales Opportunities portlet, users can create a page parameter for which they define a constant value, such as "West Region". The Sales Opportunities portlet can then be set to use this page parameter so that the portlet displays the sales opportunities for the West Region.
