Example Roles
A role is not a portal
object; it is an association between a group and the activity rights
required to perform a job function.
This following table describes the activity rights that
are defined by default during installation and provides an example
map between activity rights and administrative roles. In the example,
the role called Content Administrator provides the activity rights
required to populate the portal with document records crawled from
remote content sources; a separate role called Knowledge Directory
Administrator provides the activity rights required to create Knowledge
Directory structure. Although some users might fill both roles, others
might not. By creating two separate roles, you can assign the roles
separately or together.
