Explaining Security at Library level and Item level in WCM Part 2

Pre- requisite :- Please refer to my previous blog

Overview :- In this blog we will see security at item level, How to hide At,Pt or unnecessary views to users or approvers or contributors or editors.

Step 1 :- Navigate to portal administration then to web content library then click on library resources security instead of library security.

Now click on any access permission to which you don't want to show to some users

Step 2 :- I clicked on access button beside Authoring Template. Then uncheck Contributor check box. So that access privileges wont propagate till item level like Authoring Template.

              Click on Apply then done.

Step 3 :- Now sign in as contributor access and check you want be able to see authoring templates view.

This user is not able to view AT

Note :- Like this you can control the access. The other way of controlling is give content creators,designers,approvers as contributor role at library level and give these three roles as editor roles at library item levels like AT,PT. In this way we get access to library and then to AT or PT item level. Depending upon convenience you can follow any approach.
