Create Page: Control Access

Use this page to specify which users may access your page and the actions they can perform on it.

Note: If this page is a mobile page based on an existing page, the mobile page inherits access control settings from the page it is based on. You cannot set access control settings when creating the mobile page. However, after you create the page, you can edit it and change the settings.

Field Descriptions

Access Settings

Note: This section is available only if you chose a page template in the Choose Page Template step of the wizard, and the page template is set up to enable pages to use their own access control.

Field	Description
Inherit Access Settings from Template <Template Name>	Select to use the same access control settings as are specified for the page template. If the access control settings for the page template are changed, those changes will affect this page.
Specify Access Settings	Select to choose different access control settings for this page. If the access control settings for the page template are changed, those changes will not affect this page.

Access Properties

Enable Item Level Security	Select to allow item creators to specify access control for individual items in the page. If you do not select this check box, all the items on the page inherit access control from the page. If you select this check box, item creators have the choice of inheriting access control from the page, or specifying specific access control for individual items. Example: If item level security is enabled, a user who has View privileges on a page, can be granted the Manage Content privileges on an item on that page.
