About Business Role Pages

Business role pages provide a means of exposing highly relevant content to a specific audience. Business role pages are pages targeted to a particular type of group, or user (or user role), such as your sales force, your accounting team, your administrative staff, and so on.

A business role page may be available in the Home portal views of all users who share the targeted business role when the WebCenter Portal system administrator publishes business role pages. For example, a business role page that targets all users assigned the HR_ORG role appears in the Home portal views of all users assigned the role HR_ORG.

Tip:

Whether or not a business role page is shown in the Home portal navigation, it is always available to targeted users on the Personalize Pages page. For a listing of built-in business role pages, see About Built-In Business Role Pages.

If an individual user who is not assigned the HR_ORG role wants to see the page, the system administrator can grant access to this user. Built-in business role pages (see Table 41-1) have preconfigured access settings that cannot be altered. For information about how to alter access settings on seeded business role pages, see Setting Access on a Built-in Business Role Page.

The system administrator is the only type of user who can create a business role page. Only when a system administrator grants permission to do so, can other users edit, copy, and delete business role pages and change page permissions (for more information, see Specifying the Target Audience for a Business Role Page).

Table 41-1 lists and describes the built-in business role pages included in a default WebCenter Portal installation and provides information about the context in which they appear.

These pages, with the exception of WebCenter Portal Impersonation, also appear on the System Pages page (for more information, see Customizing System Pages).

About Built-In Business Role Pages

Table 41-1 lists the built-in business role pages in WebCenter Portal.

Table 41-1 Built-In Business Role Pages

Page	Description	Context
Activities	Displays the Activity Stream from People Connections and a Publisher task flow, which can be used to post content to the stream. For more information, see Tracking Portal Activities and Working with Feedback and the Message Board in Using Portals in Oracle WebCenter Portal.	Appears by default in the Home portal views of each authenticated (logged-in) user.
Analytics	Displays performance metrics related to WebCenter Portal, portals, portlets, and services. For more information, see Understanding Oracle WebCenter Portal Performance Metrics.	Is hidden by default, but can be accessed on the Personalize Pages page in the system administrator's view of the Home portal.
Documents	Displays the Document Explorer task flow. For more information, see Working with Task Flows in Building Portals with Oracle WebCenter Portal.	Appears by default in the Home portal views of each authenticated user.
Profile	Displays the current user's Profile, which includes subpages for Activities, Connections, Documents, organization chart (Organization), and the user's profile details (About). For more information, see Managing Your Profile in Using Portals in Oracle WebCenter Portal and Working with Task Flows in Building Portals with Oracle WebCenter Portal.	Appears by default in the Home portal views of each authenticated user.
Portals	Displays portals relevant to the current user, such as the portals to which the user belongs or has access, and the portals that the user can search for. Each listed portal has an associated menu with options for performing actions on the portal. This page also provides controls for creating portals and searching for additional portals.	Appears by default in the Home portal views of each authenticated user.
Portal Templates	Displays a list of default and custom portal templates and provides a means of creating custom portal templates and filtering the template list.	Is hidden by default, but can be accessed on the Personalize Pages page in the Home portal views of each authenticated user.
Tag Center	Displays the Tag Center to enable users to manage tags. For more information, see Adding Tagging to a Portal in Using Portals in Oracle WebCenter Portal.	Rendered dynamically when users click a tag in a Tags task flow or in search results.
WebCenter Portal Impersonation	Displays a page, from where a WebCenter Portal system administrator can assign impersonation rights to a group of users ("impersonators"), such as support representatives or other portal administrators, so that they can perform operations as other users ("impersonatees"). For more information, see Managing Impersonation. For instructions on how to initiate an impersonation session (by the impersonator) and how to allow an Impersonation session (by the impersonatee), see Using WebCenter Portal Impersonation in Using Portals in Oracle WebCenter Portal. For information about impersonation ELs and APIs, see Using WebCenter Portal Impersonation ELs and APIs in Developing for Oracle WebCenter Portal.	WebCenter Portal impersonation relies on OAM 11g 11.1.2.0. Before you can enable impersonation for a WebCenter Portal instance, you must first install and configure OAM 11g (Oracle's single sign-on solution), and then turn on impersonation in OAM. For information about installing and configuring OAM 11g, see Configuring Oracle Access Manager.

Setting Page Creation Defaults for Business Role Pages

As the WebCenter Portal system administrator, you can set page creation defaults to reduce the number of steps required to create business role pages. That is, you can specify the page style that is selected by default when you open the Create Page dialog. You can also select to bypass the Create Page dialog, which enforces the default page style.

See Also:

The page creation defaults that the system administrator sets for business role pages also affect personal pages. Authorized users can override page creation defaults for their own personal pages created in the Home portal (for more information, see Setting Page Creation Defaults for Personal Pages in Using Portals in Oracle WebCenter Portal). Defaults for pages created in a portal are controlled by the portal manager (for more information, see Creating and Editing a Portal Page in Building Portals with Oracle WebCenter Portal).

To set page creation defaults for business role pages:

1. On the Settings page (see Accessing the Settings Pages in WebCenter Portal Administration), click Business Role Pages.

   You can also enter the following URL in your browser to navigate directly to the Business Role Pages page:

   http://host:port/webcenter/portal/admin/settings/businessrolepages

   See Also:

   WebCenter Portal Pretty URLs in Building Portals with Oracle WebCenter Portal.

2. Click Set Page Defaults to open the Set Page Defaults dialog (Figure 41-1).

4. Click Create.

   The new page appears in the list of business role pages.

   Note:

   The system administrator can set an attribute on a custom page style that determines whether a newly created page that is based on that style opens in page edit mode or page view mode.

   For more information, see the Setting Properties on a Portal Asset in Building Portals with Oracle WebCenter Portal.

   Note:

   Make sure that the page style you select does not contain any content publishing components. Content publishing is not supported in Business Role pages. Built-in page styles that you can use are Product Information, Blank, Blog, Portal, Wiki, and Web Information.

5. Next steps:

   • Define the page audience, as described in Specifying the Target Audience for a Business Role Page.

   • Choose the page display order, as described in Setting a Default Display Order for Business Role Pages.

Specifying the Target Audience for a Business Role Page

The target audience for business role pages may change from time to time. For example, you may want the whole Sales team to see a page originally designed for a Product Development team. You may want to provide public access to the Marketing department's page. You may want to provide additional access privileges, such as the Edit Pages permission, to a selected department member.

Note:

As the system administrator, you can set access on the business role pages that you create (for more information, see Setting Access on a Custom Business Role Page).

You cannot alter the default access settings of seeded business role pages (see Table 41-1) through the WebCenter Portal user interface. For information about how to set access on seeded business role pages, see Setting Access on a Built-in Business Role Page.

You can find controls for setting page access on a business role page that you create in WebCenter Portal Administration (Figure 41-4).

      Users, groups, and roles matching your search criteria appear in the Add Access dialog.

   2. Select one or more names from the list.

      Press Ctrl+click to select multiple users.

   3. Click Select.

      The selected users and groups appear in the Set Page Access dialog. By default, users have the View Page permission on the page. Set other permissions appropriately.

7. To modify the permissions assigned to a current user or role, select one or more check boxes to grant page privileges:

   Table 41-2 Page Access Privileges in the Set Page Access Dialog

   Page Access	Role or User Permissions
   View Page	Access the page for viewing, but cannot perform any other actions on the page. Other permissions do not implicitly include this privilege
   Edit Page	Edit the page using the page editor. This includes adding, rearranging, and deleting content; renaming the page; and changing page properties. This permission additionally requires the View Page permission.
   Delete Page	Delete the page. This permission additionally requires the View Page permission.
   Perform All Page Actions	Perform all actions on the page.
   Personalize Page	Adjust a user's own view of a page. This includes rearranging page content, collapsing and restoring page content, and removing page content. This permission additionally requires the View Page permission.

   Tip:

   By default, all authenticated users and user roles that you add are granted page view access. The other access privileges must be explicitly granted.

8. To revoke access to the page, select the role or user, and click Delete Access.

9. Click OK.

The page is displayed to its target audience, who can see it in their views of the Home portal the next time they log in to WebCenter Portal.

Providing Public Access to a Custom Business Role Page

You can specify that any user, whether logged in or not, can view a particular custom business role page. Such a page can be exposed in a public Home portal, or you can publish the URL to the public business role page to provide all users easy access.

See Also:

The process described in this section enables all public users to view a selected custom business role page. To provide public users with additional permissions on the page, follow the steps described in Setting Access on a Built-in Business Role Page.

To make a custom business role page public:

1. On the Settings page (see Accessing the Settings Pages in WebCenter Portal Administration), click Business Role Pages.

   You can also enter the following URL in your browser to navigate directly to the Business Role Pages page:

   http://host:port/webcenter/portal/admin/settings/businessrolepages

   See Also:

   WebCenter Portal Pretty URLs in Building Portals with Oracle WebCenter Portal.

2. Click the Actions icon for the business role page for which you are setting access, and select Make Public (Figure 41-8).

   Figure 41-8 Make Public Option on a Custom Business Role Page

   
   Description of "Figure 41-8 Make Public Option on a Custom Business Role Page"

Setting Access on a Built-in Business Role Page

Built-in business role pages, such as Activities and Portals, are available to all users by default (see Table 41-1). You cannot modify the security of built-in business role pages through WebCenter Portal. If you want to change the default security settings, for example, you want to hide a built-in business role page from all users, you must modify the default business role page settings in pages.xml file, and upload the changes to the MDS repository used by WebCenter Portal using the WLST commands exportMetadata /importMetadata.

To modify the default security settings for a built-in business role page:

1. Run the WLST command exportMetadata to export pages.xml for the following user roles: anonymous-role and authenticated-role.

   For example:

   exportMetadata(application='webcenter',server='WC_Portal',toLocation='/scratch/mdsdump', docs='/oracle/webcenter/page/scopedMD/s8bba98ff_4cbb_40b8_beee_296c916a23ed/role/anonymous-role/pages.xml')
   
   exportMetadata(application='webcenter',server='WC_Portal',toLocation='/scratch/mdsdump', docs='/oracle/webcenter/page/scopedMD/s8bba98ff_4cbb_40b8_beee_296c916a23ed/role/authenticated-role/pages.xml')
   

   Where toLocation specifies a target directory on your system for the file you want to export. For detailed syntax, see exportMetadata in WLST Command Reference for WebLogic Server.

   For information on how to run WLST commands, see Running Oracle WebLogic Scripting Tool (WLST) Commands.

2. Modify the security in both pages.xml files as required, that is, mark each business role page as hidden or shown:

   <!-- Business Role Pages -->
      <pageDef id="Page_2eb852ac_10f5902cb2f__7ff7" 
      contentMRef="/oracle/webcenter/page/scopedMD/
      s8bba98ff_4cbb_40b8_beee_296c916a23ed/businessRolePages/
      ActivityStreamMainView.jspx" shared="true" hidden="true"/>...
   

      <pageDef id="Page_2eb852ac_10f5902cb2f__7ff7" 
      contentMRef="/oracle/webcenter/page/scopedMD/
      s8bba98ff_4cbb_40b8_beee_296c916a23ed/businessRolePages/
      ASpaceTemplatesMainView.jspx" shared="true" hidden="false"/>...
   

      <pageDef id="Page_2eb852ac_10f5902cb2f__7ff7" 
      contentMRef="/oracle/webcenter/page/scopedMD/
      s8bba98ff_4cbb_40b8_beee_296c916a23ed/businessRolePages/
      MyProfileMainView.jspx" shared="true" hidden="true"/>...
   

   • Set hidden="true" for the pages that should be hidden.

   • Set hidden="false" for the pages that should be shown.

3. Upload your changes to the pages.xml files to MDS using the WLST command importMetadata.

   For example:

   importMetadata(application='webcenter',server='WC_Portal',fromLocation='/scratch/mdsdump', docs='/oracle/webcenter/page/scopedMD/s8bba98ff_4cbb_40b8_beee_296c916a23ed/role/anonymous-role/pages.xml')
   importMetadata(application='webcenter',server='WC_Portal',fromLocation='/scratch/mdsdump', docs='/oracle/webcenter/page/scopedMD/s8bba98ff_4cbb_40b8_beee_296c916a23ed/role/authenticated-role/pages.xml')
   

   Where fromLocation specifies the directory that contains the file you want to import. For detailed syntax, see importMetadata in WLST Command Reference for WebLogic Server.

   For information on how to run WLST commands, see Running Oracle WebLogic Scripting Tool (WLST) Commands.

   Note:

   By default, any authenticated or anonymous user role will not be able to view the Activity Stream page (used as an example here). However, if the user logs into WebCenter Portal, from the Personalize Pages page the user can override this setting and make the page visible using the Show Page option. This user customization will be stored in MDS too, as /oracle/webcenter/page/scopedMD/s8bba98ff_4cbb_40b8_beee_296c916a23ed/user/<GUID of user>/pages.xml

   The <GUID of user> can be queried from the table WC_AS_ACTOR_DETAIL.ACTOR_ID.

   If you delete this pages.xml file within MDS, then it would revert to the set functionality from /oracle/webcenter/page/scopedMD/s8bba98ff_4cbb_40b8_beee_296c916a23ed/role/authenticated-role/pages.xml.

Revoking Access to a Custom Business Role Page

To revoke access privileges to a custom business role page:

1. Follow the steps in Setting Access on a Custom Business Role Page to open the Set Page Access dialog.
2. From Role or User, select the row that has user, group, or application role from whom you want to revoke access, and click Delete Access (Figure 41-9).

   Figure 41-9 Delete Access Option in Set Page Access Dialog

   
   Description of "Figure 41-9 Delete Access Option in Set Page Access Dialog"
3. Click Delete in the confirmation dialog.

Showing and Hiding Business Role Pages

To show or hide a business role page in Home portal navigation for all authorized users:

1. On the Settings page (see Accessing the Settings Pages in WebCenter Portal Administration), click Business Role Pages.

   You can also enter the following URL in your browser to navigate directly to the Business Role Pages page:

   http://host:port/webcenter/portal/admin/settings/businessrolepages

   See Also:

   WebCenter Portal Pretty URLs in Building Portals with Oracle WebCenter Portal.

2. For the page you want to show or hide (Figure 41-10):

   • Select the check box in the Show Page column to show the page in the Home portal views of authorized users.

   • Deselect the check box in the Show Page column to hide the page from view.

Description of "Figure 41-10 Show Page Option for Business Role Pages"

Setting a Default Display Order for Business Role Pages

If you present business role pages in a logical order, the page content is more accessible and easier for users to navigate. As the WebCenter Portal system administrator, you can determine the initial order in which business role pages are presented to their intended audience. You can do this by dragging and dropping pages into the desired order or by clicking the Reorder icons.

Individual users can change the initial display order you specify on their Personalize Pages page in the Home portal. Additionally, they can hide the business role pages they do not use.

Note:

There are two locations from which to define the order and the visibility of pages: from WebCenter Portal administration (described here) and from the Personalize Pages page (described in Rearranging Page Order in the Home Portal in Using Portals in Oracle WebCenter Portal. The difference between the two is that the administration change is an application customization and the Personalize Pages change is a user customization. Keep in mind that user customizations override application customizations in a given user's view.

To change the display order of all business role pages:

1. On the Settings page (see Accessing the Settings Pages in WebCenter Portal Administration), click Business Role Pages.

   You can also enter the following URL in your browser to navigate directly to the Business Role Pages page:

   http://host:port/webcenter/portal/admin/settings/businessrolepages

   See Also:

   WebCenter Portal Pretty URLs in Building Portals with Oracle WebCenter Portal.

2. Select a business role page, and then click the arrows in the Reorder column to change the display order (Figure 41-11).

   • Select Personal Page if you intend to expose the copy only in your own view (that is, as a personal page in your view of the Home portal).

5. Click OK.

   The page opens in edit mode in Composer. For more information about editing a page in Composer, see Editing a Page in Building Portals with Oracle WebCenter Portal.

6. Optionally, edit the page, and click Save when you have finished.

Removing All User Customizations from a Business Role Page

A control is available for removing all user customizations from a selected business role page. Using this control removes such personal changes as rearrangement, resizing, or collapsing of task flows. It does this in each user's personal view of the business role page.

To remove all user customizations from all views of a custom business role page:

1. On the Settings page (see Accessing the Settings Pages in WebCenter Portal Administration), click Business Role Pages.

   You can also enter the following URL in your browser to navigate directly to the Business Role Pages page:

2. From the Actions menu next to the target page, select Delete Personalization.
3. In the resulting confirmation dialog, click OK.

   All user customizations added by users to their own views of the page are removed. That is, task flows are returned to their original positions and their original sizes; collapsed task flows are expanded; and so on.

Deleting a Custom Business Role Page

Anyone granted the Delete Page permission on a custom business role page can delete it. For these users, the process is the same as deleting regular pages (for more information, see Deleting a Page in Building Portals with Oracle WebCenter Portal. As the WebCenter Portal system administrator, you can delete custom business role pages.

Note:

Built-in business role pages cannot be deleted, even by the system administrator.

After a custom business role page is removed from the WebCenter Portal, it cannot be recovered. Deleted pages are permanently removed, and users previously assigned that page no longer see it in their views of the Home portal.

To delete a custom business role page:

1. On the Settings page (see Accessing the Settings Pages in WebCenter Portal Administration), click Business Role Pages.

   You can also enter the following URL in your browser to navigate directly to the Business Role Pages page:
