2 Oracle Content DB Site-Level Administration

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

Oracle Content DB Site Administration

Site Administrators can provide the ability to grant public access for specific items and allow Library creation requests 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 DB Role Administration

Role Administrators can add, remove, and change the order of the roles that are available to users at the Library and Folder levels. Users assigned this role will be able to see the Role Administration link when they switch to Administration Mode in the Oracle Content DB Web client.

Oracle Content DB User Administration

Once a user has been provisioned into Oracle Content DB, 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 DB 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 Web Distributed Authoring and Versioning (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 DB Groups

User Administrators manage all groups in a Site. They have Group Manager access for all groups in a Site, which allows them to 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 Group Manager can modify and delete existing member properties of the groups they manage.

Oracle Content DB 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 subcategories, 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 subcategories 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 DB 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.

Category Administrators can also add and remove category attributess. The only modification that can be made to an existing attribute is the default value, and whether or not it can be prompted.
