Visibility Control for Search

Visibility control can be set up in Siebel Tools for each search category. Visibility rules are defined as follows:

• Multi-Organizational access control. Multi-org visibility provides a logical layer above the visibility controls at the enterprise, limited, and personal levels. With it you can limit visibility at the individual level of information such as accounts, contacts, and opportunities within a single organization. Access is limited to individuals whose positions have been placed on virtual teams for each record. Additional entities, such as products and price lists are limited at the business organizational level rather than the level of individual user, and access is controlled at this level.
• Catalog Category. Limits access of groups of users to catalogs and categories of content. If catalog category control is used for a particular search object, any records that are not associated with any content category will not display as a search result. For more information, see Security Guide for Siebel eBusiness Applications.
• Access Group. You can index fields to enforce existing Access Group visibility rules within your Siebel enterprise. For more information, see Security Guide for Siebel eBusiness Applications.
