2 Oracle Content Services Site Level Administration

This chapter provides conceptual information for Oracle Content Services Site level administration. This chapter contains the following topics:

Oracle Content Services Site Administration

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.

Oracle Content Services Role Administration

Role Administrators can rename roles and set role descriptions.

Oracle Content Services User Administration

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:

Managing Oracle Content Services Users

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

Managing Oracle Content Services Groups

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.

Oracle Content Services Category Administration

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.

Managing Oracle Content Services Category Properties

Category Administrators can create, modify, and delete categories within a Site. A name must be provided for each category when it is created.
