User segments are used to define target audiences. These audiences are either internal or external users who are defined as members of a specific target, such as security access levels or site administration capabilities. User segments are divided into external and internal user segments. Internal user segments are used by ATG Knowledge, while external user segments are used by ATG Self Service.
Note: A management server is required to create external segments.
User segments are used for:
Setting field security on global fields
Setting list value security on list field values
Setting value security on the intrinsic fields Owning Group, internal audience, and external audience
Self Service site management
For information on creating user segments, refer to the User Segments chapter of the ATG Business Control Center Administration and Development Guide.
