17.12 Granting Content Attribution Privileges

Content attribution includes page group objects such as:

• Categories

• Perspectives

• Item Types

• Page Types

• Attributes

You can find privileges for creating or taking action on these objects at the global and page group levels. At more focussed levels, such as page, tab, and item, you can use these objects—for example, you can apply a category to a page—but you cannot act on them.

This section provides information about the privileges that carry with them the power to act on objects related to content attribution.

Note:

For information on granting privileges at the global level, see Section 17.3, "Granting Global Privileges". For information on granting privileges at the page group level, see Section 17.4, "Securing Page Groups".

Table 17-5 lists and describes the privileges relating to content attribution.
