Security Examples

Review this information for low, medium, and high security scenarios and how to implement them in Users & security.

Low security scenario: Your Board Members require view permissions only for Board Member specific site pages. They should not have rights to create, edit, or delete content.
  To establish this low-level security, in Roles, create a role to group Board Members. You can do this by selecting a query or by including the individual members on the Members tab. Do not associate the role with a task group because Board Members should not be granted permissions for administrative tasks. Because there is not a role and task group association, there is not a security assignment for the role.

Note: Task groups assign feature permissions for administrative tasks. To provide view rights for Board Members on your website, assign the View permission to the role on the Targeting & Security tab for the applicable pages, parts, and images. For more information, see Targeting & Security Tab.

Medium security scenario: Your Development Staff requires unique permissions for content author rights to specific site pages.
  To establish this medium-level security, in Roles, create a role to group Development Staff members. You can do this by selecting a query or by including the individual members on the Members tab. In Task groups, select the following site task rights under Website security.
  Under Page tasks, select Can create new Pages and Has access to Pages in Site Explorer.
  Under Part tasks, select Can create new Parts and Has access to the Part Gallery.
  Under Image tasks, select Can upload Images and Has access to Image Library.
  In Security assignments, associate the role and task group and assign it to the development site.

Note: Task groups assign feature permissions for administrative tasks. To provide security for the Development Staff from your website, assign the View and Edit permission to the role on the Targeting & Security tab for the applicable pages, parts, and images. For more information, see Targeting & Security Tab.

High security scenario: Your Web Designer requires unique permissions for rights to edit pages, templates, and layouts. However, they cannot access Workflows and Merchant accounts.
  To establish this high-level security, in Roles, include individual Web Designer users in a role.
  Under Page tasks, select Has all Page related rights.
  Under Template tasks, select Has all Template related rights.
  Under Layout tasks, select Has all Layout related rights.
  In Security assignments, associate the role and task group and assign it to your default site.

Note: To provide security for the Web Designers from your website, you can assign all permissions to the role on the Targeting & Security tab for the applicable pages, parts, and images. For more information, see Targeting & Security Tab.
