Creating or Editing an Administrative Folder
Administrative folders
provide a hierarchical structure that make it easy to organize portal
objects and manage security.
Tip: You might
want to store all of the resources needed by a particular audience
of users in the same folder in which you store those users. By securing
the folder appropriately and applying experience definition settings
to it you can create completely separate and discreet user experiences
for each audience of users.
To create an administrative folder you must have the following
rights and privileges:
- Access Administration activity right
- Create Admin Folders activity right
- At least Edit access to the parent folder (the folder in which
you are creating the new folder)
- Click Administration.
- If necessary, open the folder in which you want to store
the new folder.
- In the Create Object drop-down list,
click Administrative Folder.
The Create Administrative Folder dialog box opens.
- In the Name box, type a name for
the folder.
This name appears in lists of objects from which users will
sometimes choose; therefore, the name should clearly convey the purpose
of this folder.
- In the Description box, type a description
for the folder.
This description appears in the Administrative Objects Directory
to provide other administrators further details on the purpose of
this folder.
- Click OK.
You can perform additional tasks when you edit this folder:
