This chapter provides you with tips and a quick reference for using the Web Experience Management (WEM) Framework for managing and working with the sites, applications, users, and roles and includes the following sections:
Before following instructions in the rest of this section, take note of a few tips:
(Optional) If you are experimenting with WEM sites, users, and roles you may want to distinguish them from dedicated WebCenter Sites CM sites, users, and roles. For example, you can add a description for the site/user/role, or prefixing the name with "WEM_" (or a similar qualifier). Note that once a site, user, or role is created, its name cannot be changed.
ACLs are required for user accounts. ACLs can be created only by general administrators and only in the WebCenter Sites Admin tab.
Sharing a role to a user and an application grants the user access to the application in that site.
Applications can have role-protected interface functions. Sharing a role to a user and an interface function grants the user access to the interface function.
Groups provide access to REST. They must be configured in the WebCenter Sites Admin interface.
Groups are used to control access to applications' resources.
If a custom-built application does not specify a predefined user, authorize application users at the application and REST levels.
If a custom-built application specifies a predefined user, authorize that user at the system, application, and REST levels. Authorize application users at the application level.
The rest of this section provides you with a quick reference to help you create and manage sites, applications, users, and roles in the WEM Admin interface.
