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.
