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 Workarea 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
Workarea and one or more Dir or File classes.
Access Control
This controls permission for the pages under the Access Control tab.
Read permission is required to be able to see the Access Control tab
from the Content Editor. To be able to change anything on these pages,
add users/groups, set permissions etc, write permission is required.
Write permission for this class is only needed for the
administrator(s) of SiteBuilder.
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 in the Content
Editor. It is also possible to create new protection points for single
files or directories, but all files that don't have a special
protection point are protected by this one. A "Dir:" class protects
all files and sub directories in the protected directory.
The group "Everyone" should have read permission set for files to
be shown 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.
Workarea administration
To be able to create a new workarea or change settings for the current
one, write permission is required for this protection class.
Workarea: Main
The "Main" workarea is created automatically when setting up
SiteBuilder. It controls access to the files in the Main workarea.
Whenever a new workarea is created, another protection class is also
created for it.
Editors need write permissions for at least one workarea to be
able to edit files.
To make a site accessible in public the group "Everyone" should
have read permissions for this protection class or that of another
work area. What files should be accessible is controlled by Dir: and
File: protection classes.
