Managing Content Security

WebLogic Portal provides two ways to secure your content. Delegated Administration controls who can edit content within your repository, while Visitor Entitlements control who can view content when it is displayed in your portal.

This chapter includes the following sections:

 


Using Delegated Administration for Content

You can control how users and groups interact with the repository by associating Delegated Administration roles that are used to determine whether to grant or deny access to resources, and to determine which capabilities on those resources are available to the administrator.

Before starting to use the Virtual Content Repository, you can want to set up the users, roles, and privileges you want to use in order to dictate who can add, edit, or delete content within the repository.

Before you can assign content management resources to a Delegated Administration role, you must make sure the role exists. If no role exists, you must create it, then you can add users and content resources to it.

For detailed information about setting up delegated administration on content resources, see the WebLogic Portal Security Guide.

 


Setting Visitor Entitlements for Content

Visitor entitlements allow you to define who can access the content in your portal application and what they can do with it.

For more information about visitor entitlements on content resources, see the WebLogic Portal Security Guide.
