This chapter provides conceptual information for Oracle Content Services 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. Site Administrators can also specify which user access roles are available, as well as the order in which they appear under the Sharing tab.
Role Administrators can rename roles and set role descriptions.
All Oracle Content Services users are Oracle Internet Directory users. Users are synchronized from Oracle Internet Directory into Oracle Content Services 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 provisions the change in Oracle Content Services.
After users have been created in Oracle Internet Directory, users are automatically provisioned in Oracle Content Services by the Oracle Internet Directory Credential Manager Agent.
Once a user has been provisioned into Oracle Content Services, they can sign in to the application.
User Administrators manage all users and groups within a Site. User Administrators can perform the following tasks:
Set particular user preference defaults
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
Modify some user preferences
User Administrators can search for all users in a Site, as well as set and modify the following user default preferences:
Set the number of files to list in a user's My Recent Files report
Allow users to change how many files are listed in their My Recent Files report
Determine how often users should be prompted for their password when using a WebDAV client
Allow users to change how often they are prompted for their password when using a WebDAV client
Assign the document language, character set, and the character encoding when UTF-8 does not work
User Administrators manage all groups in a Site. They can create and delete groups, as well as add and remove members from a group, and assign the Group Manager role to a group member.
Once a Group Manager is assigned, then the 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 sub-categories, 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, defining a hierarchy of categories and Sub-categories 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 only modification that can be made to an existing attribute is the default value, and whether or not it can be prompted.
