Assign Delegated Administration of Content Management Resources

Delegated Administration roles are dynamic classifications of users that determine user access to resources in the WebLogic Administration Portal. These roles are used to determine whether to grant or deny access to resources, and to determine which capabilities on those resources are available to the administrator.

As an administrator, you can delegate the administration of Content Management resources.

To assign Content Management resources to a Delegated Administration role:

Note: Before you can assign Content Management resources to a Delegated Administration role, you must make sure the role exists and has Delegated Administration rights assigned to it. If no role exists, you must create it, then you can add users and content resources to it. For detailed information about setting up administrators, see How Do I Set Up a New Administrator?

To assign Content Management resources to a Delegated Administration role:

  1. In the Content Hierarchy Resource tree, select the content resource you want to assign to a role.
  2. Select the Edit Delegated Admin tab in the Editor pane to the the right, if it is not already open.
  3. Use the drop-down menu in the Editor pane to select a role. (The role appears in the Can Manage box.)
  4. If you want to assign the content resource to more than one role, repeat Step 3 until all of the roles are listed in the Can Manage box.
  5. Check the Can Manage box next to each role.
  6. Click Update.
  7. To confirm the role has been assigned, select the resource in the Resource tree, then view the Edit Delegated Admin tab in the Editor pane. The role name should appear with the Can Manage box selected.
