Overview of Portal Security
AquaLogic Interaction provides many features that work
together to secure your portal and its content.
Important: By default, you can log in to the administrative
portal as Administrator with no password. If the default Administrator
password has not yet been changed, you should do so as soon as possible.
Make sure that you document the change and inform the appropriate
portal administrators.
In addition to the security available through the portal, you must
also secure your hardware and back-end systems (for example, your
portal and user databases) to fully protect your portal. You should
follow all security guidance provided in your hardware and software
documentation.
You must also create strong passwords not only for administrators,
but for all portal users and you must advise everyone to keep their
passwords safe.
- About Access PrivilegesAccess privileges determine which portal objects a user can browse or edit, which objects appear in search results, and which can be added to My Pages and community pages.
- About Activity RightsActivity rights determine which portal objects a user can create and which portal utilities a user can execute to create or modify portal objects. For example, you can specify that users can create communities, create folders, create content types, and create portlets. Activity rights are global and cumulative. If a user is a member of multiple groups, each with different rights, that user inherits all the activity rights of all the parent groups. That user can exercise all of those rights in any area of the portal to which that user has the appropriate access. Groups can also inherit activity rights.
