Protection points in SiteBuilder
SiteBuilder automatically adds a number of protection points with
separate protection classes which are used to control access to the
different parts of SiteBuilder.
A typical editor would need write permission for Content Editor, at
least one work area and one or more Dir or File classes to be able to
create or edit files.
For a public site, the group Everyone needs read permission to a
work area and one or more Dir or File classes.
Access Control
This controls permission for the access control interface. Read
permission is required to be able to see the access control
information as well as Access Control tab itself. Write
permission is needed to make any changes to the access control
information.
Content Editor
Controls access to the content editor, the graphical interface of
SiteBuilder. To change anything, edit files, changing permissions or
settings, in the SiteBuilder, write permission for this protection
class is required.
Dir: /
This controls the access to the files and directories of the site. It
is also possible to create new protection points for single files or
directories. A protection point for a directory protects all files and
subdirectories of that directory, unless a file or subdirectory has a
protection point of its own. Thus the protection point for Dir:
/ will protect all files and directories until protection points
for other directories and/or files are created.
New protection points for files and directories are created by the
Add protection point button under the Files
tab.
The group Everyone should have read permission for Dir:
/ on a public site.
Plugin: IntraSeek
Users with write permission to this protection point will be able to
configure IntraSeek under the Plugins tab. This protection
point will be generated automatically when the
IntraSeek module is installed and will then copy the
permissions form the Content Editor protection point.
Plugin: LogView
Users with read permission to this protection point can view
statistics using LogView under the Plugins tab. Users with
write permission can configure LogView. This protection point will be
generated automatically when the LogView module is
installed and will then copy the permissions form the Content
Editor protection point.
Work area administration
To be able to create a new work area or change settings for the current
one, write permission is required for this protection class.
Work area: Main
The Main work area is created automatically when setting up
SiteBuilder. It controls access to the files in the Main work area.
Whenever a new work area is created, another protection class is also
created for it.
The protection point for a work area is combined with the
protection point for a file, to find out what permission a user has to
a file in a certain work area. The combined permission equals the
lowest permission of the two combined protection points. Thus a user
will have read permission to a file in a work area she has read
permission to, eventhough she has write permission to the protection
point protecting the actual file.
Editors need write permissions for at least one work area to be
able to edit files.
To make a site accessible in public the group Everyone needs
read permissions to the work area containing the live site. Which files
will be accessible is controlled by Dir: and File: protection classes.
