Web Content Library

Web Content Libraries help you organize Web Content. Use this section to learn how to create and manage them.

  • Create a content library
    You use the Administration portlets to create libraries. You can have multiple content libraries. To determine how many libraries you need, consider the type of site you are developing and who needs access to certain content. A minimum of two libraries is common—one for items required for the web content system and another for authoring content.

  • Set up access to libraries
    You can grant and restrict access to libraries in several ways. There are five content roles—User, Contributor, Editor, Manager, and Administrator. Each role has specific access rights. You can associate individual users or groups with a role. There are three levels at which you can assign access: library, item type per library, and item level.

  • Defining roles within a library
    You can define the access of a user or group for a library to determine who can access a library and specify access levels within the authoring portlet.

  • Copying or moving items between libraries
    You can copy and move items between libraries.

  • Unlocking a library
    A library can become locked when a long-running task, such as restoring all content items in a library, fails to unlock it.

  • Deleting a web content library
    When a web content library is no longer required, you can delete it.

  • Disabling a web content library
    When a web content library is no longer required, you can disable it.

  • Setting root access for all web content libraries
