Take into consideration the features and functions of your site. Are you replicating functionality in a similar manner?

The default value for this is 200, and you can change this number in your config.cfg file. Be warned that increasing this number beyond 200 can have adverse effects on your search performance, so use this with caution.

How Access Works
Access to documents is defined by both the Security Group and the Account. In order to perform an action (such as view the document or check in a revision), a user needs to have permissions to do so by BOTH the Role the user has (and, by extension, the Security Groups the user has) and the Jeff Meadorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12357489156736825871noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-292516467584895575.post-10601098987432704852009-04-06T14:12:00.000-07:002009-04-10T08:19:42.811-07:00Security Groups and Accounts Overview (Part 2)This is the second of a three-part series on Oracle UCM (Stellent) security.
Accounts
Accounts are an optional second layer of security that you can use inside the Oracle UCM. To activate accounts, add the following configuration setting to you config.cfg file:
UseAccounts=1
Accounts differ from Security Groups and Roles in a couple of different ways:

I’ve written this blog entry to help clarify some of these terms and help people get a better understanding of the concepts and terms involved with Oracle UCM security.

Not with the content items themselves, but rather with what I can do with them. You see, the default Action menu is a little thin:
There is one feature that I consistently use that isn’t available here: Update Metadata. Oracle has made it easy to add this feature.
The list of options for this menu are stored Jeff Meadorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12357489156736825871noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-292516467584895575.post-74495951209823451372009-03-23T11:06:00.000-07:002009-03-24T08:05:49.771-07:00Making Content Occasionally ContributableEvery once in a while, you run into content areas of your web site where the content appears on several pages, but you want to limit access to contribution to just one page. For example, if there’s a common footer on all of your pages, you may want users to see it on every page, but only change content from the home page. This entry shows you how you can make contributed content Jeff Meadorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12357489156736825871noreply@blogger.com0
