Enum Constant Detail

NONE

public static final PortalSecurityLevel NONE

Cannot interact with resource.

USER

public static final PortalSecurityLevel USER

Viewing portal content. For example, viewing a specific page.

PRIVILEGED_USER

public static final PortalSecurityLevel PRIVILEGED_USER

Viewing portal content, customizing portlets and pages, and creating new private pages.

CONTRIBUTOR

public static final PortalSecurityLevel CONTRIBUTOR

Viewing portal content and creating new resources. The Contributor role type does not include the permission to edit resources. It only allows you to create new resources. For example, a user is granted the Contributor role on the Template Category Teamspaces. The user will not be able to modify the category itself but can create new templates in this category.

EDITOR

public static final PortalSecurityLevel EDITOR

Creating new resources and configuring existing resources that are used by multiple users.

MANAGER

public static final PortalSecurityLevel MANAGER

Creating new resources and configuring and deleting existing resources that are used by multiple users.

DELEGATOR

public static final PortalSecurityLevel DELEGATOR

Assigning the Delegator role to principals (users and groups) allows roles to be granted to them. Having the Delegator role on other resources, such as specific portlets, is not useful. The set of roles that can be granted to those principals is defined through the Security Administrator and Administrator role types. For example a user has a Delegator role on the SalesTeam user group but no Delegator role on the Managers user group, so this user can grant roles only to the SalesTeam or individual members of the SalesTeam user group but not to the Managers user group. Having the Delegator role on a resource does not give direct access to the resource. The purpose of the Delegator role type is to allow the granting of roles to users or groups, so assigning Delegator role on resources or resource types that are not users or user groups will not grant those users additional privileges.

SECURITY_ADMINISTRATOR

public static final PortalSecurityLevel SECURITY_ADMINISTRATOR

Creating and deleting role assignments on resources. Being assigned Security Administrator role at some resource means that the user shall be allowed to act as a delegated administrator for that resource, in other words the Security Administrator on a resource is allowed to delegate a subset of their privileges on the resource to other people according to the Delegated Administration Policy. For example, a user who is assigned Security Administrator and Editor role on a resource can assign this Editor role to other people provided he has Delegator role on those people. Having the Security Administrator role on a resource alone does not give view or edit access to the resource.

ADMINISTRATOR

public static final PortalSecurityLevel ADMINISTRATOR

Unrestricted access on resources. This includes creating, configuring, and deleting resources. Administrators can also change the access control settings on resource; in other words grant other people access to those resources.

Method Detail

values

public static PortalSecurityLevel[] values()

Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:

for (PortalSecurityLevel c : PortalSecurityLevel.values())
    System.out.println(c);

Returns:

an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared

valueOf

public static PortalSecurityLevel valueOf(java.lang.String name)

Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)

Parameters:

name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.

Returns:

the enum constant with the specified name

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name

java.lang.NullPointerException - if the argument is null

getXmlAccessName

public java.lang.String getXmlAccessName()

Get the XML Access representation/name of the security level.

Returns:

The XML Access representations.
