  • 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.
