Access Control
Access Control is the permission handling system in SiteBuilder,
allowing detailed configuration of different users' access to
different parts of any SiteBuilder site as well of the SiteBuilder
system itself.
Access control handles different users' permissions to certain
protection points. A protection point is a resource being protected,
for example a directory or the content editor. A user has read, write
or no permission on each protection point.
The permissions are indirect. Users have membership in groups, the
groups then have permission on protection classes. Each protection
class contains one or more protection points. Thus users belong to
groups while protection points belong to protection classes.
The access control interface is reached via the Access
Control tab in the content editor. When selecting the tab, three
additional tabs will be visible; Identities,
Permissions and Resources.
- Identities
-
The identities tab is where users and
groups are handled and group membership assigned.
- Permissions
-
The permissions tab is where permissions are set for groups
on protection classes.
- Resources
-
The resources tab allows for grouping of protection points into protection classes, as well as
configuration of the protection points and protection classes.
