Setting Up Security Profiles

A crucial system administrator task is to define restrictions and authorizations for specific Web platform administrative functions (entities). Use Security profiles under Users in the Administration > Administration block to accomplish this task. For example, you can create a security profile that only allows access to create and execute imports and exports of data.

• Security profiles must be associated with a role.

• If a role is not assigned a security profile, any user associated with the role does not have restriction on the administration functions.

• Setting up security profiles is necessary to ensure the security of the platform administration.

• You can determine if users assigned to roles can create, read, write, delete, or execute for an entity listed.

• A list of predefined codes displays along with corresponding controlled entities in the Description fields.

• In the lower section of the window, you can assign a security profile to a specific role.

• Refer to the online Help for a definition of each code listed in the Authorizations section.

Personalization level

The option selected for Personalization level determines the level of personalization a user can perform on pages. The options available include:

• Administrator: The user can modify personalized pages shared by several users.

• User: Allows the user to personalize, but only on a page that is dedicated to that user.

• None: No personalization is allowed.

Security level

• Defines a numeric level associated with each profile. Profile levels range from 0 to 99. A user can only create or modify security profiles that are higher than the Security profile he is associated with. In other words, a user with Security level 1 can only view or maintain Security profiles with security level 2 and above.
