Each ATG Content Administration user requires a profile in the ATG profile repository; the values of the login and password profile properties are used as the username and password to log into the ATG Business Control Center. Access to activities within the ATG Business Control Center, however, is controlled by ACC roles (People and Organizations > Roles in the ACC).
ATG Content Administration provides the following preconfigured roles for use in the ATG Business Control Center:
Role | Description |

This role is intended for users who create and manage assets. See PublishingRepository Security in this chapter for information on the EPub-User role’s access rights to the | |

In the initial stages of development, you should assign the EPub-User, EPub-Manager, or EPub-Admin role to any new ATG Business Control Center users that you create. However, you typically want to restrict access to various projects and assets to subsets of users, such as merchandisers, scenario authors, system administrators, and so on. Consequently, early in the development process, you should identify the user types that are required for your content development environment, create the appropriate principals (roles, organizations, and so on), and configure their access rights accordingly. You should complete this step early in the development process in order to minimize its difficulty and avoid runtime access problems. For more information on adding new principals, see the ATG Personalization Programming Guide.
Note: The ATG Content Administration user profile that is provided for default access to the ATG Business Control Center (username: publishing, password: publishing) is assigned the EPub-Super-Admin role. This user account exists only for evaluation and initial setup, and should be deleted as soon as you establish real user accounts. Only users who require full access to the PublishingRepository should use the default account or the EPub-Super-Admin role.
ATG Portal Roles
In addition to one of the ATG Content Administration roles described above, users also require an ATG Portal role that provides access to the ATG Business Control Center UI—for example 100001member. These roles are also assigned through the People and Organizations > Roles window in the ACC. The appropriate roles are located in the Global Roles > Bizui folder.
