This chapter provides a overviews of workspace administration and workspace privilege sets and discusses how to:
Set up a workspace.
Designate the content and layout of the workspace homepage.
Manage the status of workspaces.
Move a workspace in the workspace hierarchy.
Import and export workspace data.
Manage external user accounts for workspaces.
In Oracle’s PeopleSoft Applications Portal, workspace administration tasks occur inside and outside of the workspace itself. This chapter covers both types of activities.
To get a workspace ready for use by workspace members, the workspace administrator is responsible for doing the following tasks within the workspace:
Setting up the workspace—that is, adding workspace members, selecting workspace modules, and so on.
Designating the content and layout of the workspace homepage.
After a workspace is up and running, additional administrative tasks can include:
Managing the status of workspaces—that is, inactivating or reactivating workspaces, deleting workspaces, or setting workspaces to read-only.
Moving a workspace in the workspace hierarchy.
Importing and exporting workspace data.
Managing external user accounts for workspaces.
This section provides an overview of workspace privileges and discusses:

Workspace Privileges
When you add a member to a workspace, you assign him or her one of the following delivered privilege sets:
Owner
Administrator
Approver
Moderator
Contributor
Viewer
This security defined for a member at the workspace level defines a member's privileges at the workspace module level. For example, a member defined as a viewer for a workspace will have viewer privileges in all modules.
Note. A Manager Permission List is available on the Installation Options page. This permission list enables a high-level user to create and manage workspaces and manage existing workspaces by activating, deactivating, or deleting a workspace. Workspace access and actions are restricted by member privileges on the Workspace definition.

Mapping Keys for Context-Sensitive Pagelets
Access the Key Name Mapping page (click the Map link for a context-sensitive pagelet on the Administration - Modules page).
When a related pagelet is added to a workspace and is designated as being context-sensitive, the pagelet is passed the same key names and values that are associated with the workspace. These keys are passed to the pagelet as query string parameters. If needed, the key names can be overridden for a related pagelet by means of the EPPCW_KEYMAPPING attribute to the content reference representing the pagelet.
The content reference for the pagelet content reference can be accessed by means of clicking the Structure and Content link on the Administration - Advanced page. The syntax for the attribute value is:
KEY1ORIGNAME=KEY1NEWNAME; KEY2ORIGNAME=KEY2NEWNAME; ... KEYNORIGNAME=KEYNNEWNAME

If this workspace was created by means of a template for which contextual data has been defined, the key fields selected to supply contextual data appear here. The key field values can be specified at the time of creation of the workspace or by using the Administration module of the workspace once it has been created.
If this workspace was created by means of a template that did not specify a contextual relationship, you can enter your own key fields and values.
While you can manually enter data on this page, Oracle recommends that you populate these fields by creating a workspace from a template and directly from a transaction.
Note. Modifying existing field values or options set in this group box initiates a function that updates all workspace pagelet content reference URLs that contain an attribute of EPPCW_PAGELET with a value of KEYS. This change affects all workspace pagelets, as well as any related pagelets associated with the workspace in which the key was modified.

Custom Label |
Enter an overriding value for the key label. If you choose to display the key, this label will appear alongside the key field value below the menu of a workspace for a transaction that contains the key. |
Use the Administration - Feeds page as the starting point for administering workspace feeds.
In addition to workspace modules that can be published as feeds on their own, one or more feeds can be published for the entire workspace, each of which is known as a workspace feed. While workspace members with sufficient privilege can publish feeds for individual workspace modules, only the workspace administrator can publish a workspace feed. In addition, the administrator is responsible for selecting which modules will be included in that feed.
The following steps provide a high-level overview of the process to administer workspace feeds:
In the workspace menu, click the Administration link to access the Administration module.
Select the Feeds page.
Depending on whether a workspace feed has already been published, one of the following pages is displayed:
The Publish as Feed page is displayed if a workspace feed has already been published. Continue with step 3.
The Publish Feed Definition page is displayed if a workspace feed has not been published for this workspace. Continue with step 4.
Determine whether you want to edit one of the current workspace feeds, or create a new workspace feed.
On the Publish as Feed page, click Edit to edit an existing workspace feed; click Add New to create a new workspace feed.
Set the feed parameters, additional feed parameters, and feed security options on the Publish Feed Definition page.
See PeopleTools 8.52: Feed Publishing Framework , “Creating and Using Feeds and Feed Templates ,” Understanding Creation and Use of Feeds and Feed Templates.
You must select at least one module for publishing in this workspace feed. Therefore, click the Advanced Options link.
Set the advanced options for the workspace feed on the Advanced Feed Options page.

You can search for external users based on the last sign-in date or by a keyword, such as user name.
The Users group box displays the user name, the description of the user, what workspaces the user can access, and when the user last signed in to that workspace.
To delete the external user from the system, select the name and click Delete.
To remove a user's external status and give them the status as an internal user, select the name and click Remove External Status.
