Will There Be Different Security Access for Each User?

You should know your users, their role in the organization, and their knowledge of web publishing before you give them access to the site. You may want to provide equal access to all contribution regions on the Web site for all users, or you may want to limit access for some and grant full access to others.

For example, you may want to provide full access to the entire web page for members of the marketing department and access to only a portion of that page to all other departments. To do this, you would set up different users on the content server, assign a different contributor data file or native document to each region, and assign unique security metadata (using the metadata framework on the content server) to those files.

As a result, only the files that a particular contributor has permission to edit will display a contribution graphic (Figure) on them on the web page when in contribution mode.

Sections of the Web site can also be marked so that only certain users can view them. This is handled in the section settings within the Web site hierarchy. After the section has limited access, the section is available for viewing (and editing, if you want) to only those users that you want to have access.
