Assigning Access to Categories

Access groups control which groups of users can see particular categories. Access groups are associated with categories under the Access Group tab.

If you have already associated an access group with a catalog, as described in Assigning Access to Catalogs, then that group of users also has access to all the categories in the catalog, and you do not have to assign it access to the categories. Assign access to categories only if you want access to individual categories to users who do not have access to the entire catalog.

NOTE:  Before you can perform this step, you must create the access group. For information on creating access groups, see Siebel Security Guide.

This task is a step in Process of Setting Up Categories.

To associate an access group with a category

1. Navigate to the Administration - Catalog screen.
2. In the Catalogs list, click the name of a catalog.
3. In the Category Detail applet, select the category you want.
4. Click the Access Groups view tab.

   The access groups associated with that category appear.

5. Add a new record to the Access Groups.

   A dialog box appears.

6. Select an access group, and then click Add.

   The access group appears in the Access Groups list.
