Access Setting

Field Description
Inherit Access Settings from the Template

Assigns the tab the same access privileges as the template tab it is based on.

Note: This option displays when the page that includes the tab is based on a template.
Inherit Access Settings from Page <Page Name>

Assigns the tab the same access privileges that are specified on the page where the tab is placed.

Notes:

  • You can view these privileges from the Access tab when you edit the page or tab properties.
  • The display name of the page (or tab) from which the privileges will be inherited is shown in parentheses.
Specify Access Settings Allows you to set access settings specific to the tab and different from the page where the tab appears. When you select this option, the Access Properties, Grant Access, and Change Access sections appear on this page.

Access Properties

Field Description
Display Tab To Public Users

Allows all users to view the tab, even users who are not logged on.

If you do not select this option, only the page group administrator, page owners, and users to whom you have explicitly granted access privileges will be able to view this tab.

Note: If a page is not visible to public users, its tabs are also not visible to public users.
Enable Item Level Security

Select to allow item creators to specify access control for individual items on the tab.

If you do not select this check box, all the items on the tab inherit access control from the tab. If you select this check box, item creators have the choice of inheriting access control from the tab, or specifying specific access control for individual items.

Example: If item level security is enabled, a user who has View privileges on a tab, can be granted Manage Content privileges on an item on that tab.

Grant Access

Field Description
Grantee Enter the name of the user or group who should have access to this tab. If you are not sure of the name of the user or group, click Users icon (for users) or Groups icon (for groups) and select from the list provided.
privilege list Choose the privilege level to grant to the user or group.
Add

Click to grant the chosen privileges to the specified user or group.

Note: When you click Add, the user or group is added to the Change Access section of this page, where you can change or revoke the privileges, if required.

Change Access

Field Description
Grantee

Displays the name of the user or group that has been granted privileges on the tab.

Note: Click Delete icon to revoke the tab privileges from this user or group.
Type Displays whether the grantee is a user or a group.
Privilege Choose a new privilege level to grant to the user or group.

Cache Invalidation

Field Description
Clear Cache

Click to clear all the Web Cache entries for the tab. The next time the tab is requested, it will be retrieved from the database, not the cache.

Example: If you revoke a user's privileges on the tab, the user will still be able to access the tab if it is in the cache. If you want to make sure that your changes are applied immediately, clear the tab from the cache by clicking this link.

Note: This link is available only if one or more of the Web Cache global settings are enabled.
