Create a Content Zone

Enterprises that manage a large set of goods and services in their procurement system need control of what content buyers, self service requesters and advanced procurement requesters can access.

The content security model determines what subset of the content will be accessible to which users in the procurement system. You first define the catalog content and then make the content available to a user or groups of users by including the content in content zones.

Once defined, administrators associate content to content zones, which are made accessible to one or more users either directly, or through requisitioning BUs.

Note: Users won't have access to content that's not associated to a content zone.
