HyperContent v1.4 manual Overview Getting Started Using the Content Manager Top Navigation Search Directory tree navigation Details screen Create a new file Copying & Moving files Admin section Output section References Revisions section Report screen Permissions Authoring Content Developing Sites Glossary Bibliography Permissions allow you to define who can perform what activites on which portions of a site. There are seven activities defined in HyperContent that can have their permissions set independently: Read view the target repository path and preview its output Write edit content and save changes Create create new directories and files Delete delete directories and files Grant Permissions grant permissions on nodes Build build files Publish publish files Permissions are set via the uPortal Permissions Manager, which is accessed either by clicking "Permissions" in the details screen of a directory or file, or from the project admin area. The target of a permission is the selected repository node at which the permission is granted or denied; this permission then applies recursively to all nodes under the selected node, unless a contrary permission is explicitly set at a lower level. Project permissions are set at the root of the repository; thus, in order to open a project, a user needs to have read permission on the repository root. The principal you assign permissions to is either a group or person; people inherit the permissions of the groups to which they belong. After clicking Permissions, and before reaching the pictured permissions screen, you will come to a Groups Manager screen which allow you to select the people and groups to whom you would like to grant permissions.
