Protection points

A protection point is a resource that is handled by the Access Control system. The resource can be a directory, a single file, the graphical interface, the access control system itself or a work area.

SiteBuilder creates a number of protection points automatically when the system is set up or a new work area is created and also when some additional modules are added to the server.

It is also possible to create protection points from the Content Editor both for files and directories and for use in RXML. A protection point for a file is created with the Add protection point under the Files tab. A protection point for use in RXML is created by the Create RXML Protection Point button under the Configurations tab.

Protection points in external modules
Other modules, not included in the SiteBuilder distribution, might also add their own protection points to the Access Control system. The protection points will show up automatically in the Access Control configuration interface when the module is added to a SiteBuilder server.
