Who can access a page?

Related topics

With respect to page access and customization, it may help to consider two versions of a page: the one that an individual user sees, and the public version of the page. If you are the page creator (or a portal administrator), you control the extent to which other users can customize your page: whether they can modify the public version, their own private version, or nothing at all. As page creator, you can always modify any aspect of your page. When you grant access to a page through the Create/Edit Page Access tab, you can choose from the privileges described in Create Page: Access. Besides the Access tab, there is another way to control access to pages: through user and group global privileges. A global privilege grants access to a user or group for all objects of a particular type. For example, if a group has the Manage privilege for pages, every user in that group has full authority over every page created on that instance of Oracle Portal. Global privileges allow you to grant many users access to a page simultaneously, rather than adding each user individually through the Access tab.

Note

Global privileges are not reflected on the Access tabs for individual objects. For example, if you grant the Manage privilege for All Pages to a particular group or user, you will not see that group or user listed on the Access tab for individual pages.
