23.2.1 — February 2023

Managing Sites in a Shared Repository
  • You can now easily create hundreds of sites that share the same asset repository while still controlling access to site-specific content. For example, site contributors would be able to access common assets such as corporate logos and assets intended for use on sites they manage, but not have access to assets intended for other sites. More...
  • You start by creating a taxonomy specifically for site security and assigning it to the shared repository. A site developer creates a template that requires the use of a site security taxonomy. When a user creates a site from that template and selects the shared repository, Oracle Content Management automatically adds a new site category to the taxonomy and creates groups for site viewers and site contributors.
  • You don't need to manually assign the site category to assets. Any assets added to the site will automatically be categorized with the site category.
  • You don't need to manually assign permissions to site content. When the site is shared with someone, they will automatically be added to the appropriate site group, based on the role they're given.

  • This change doesn't affect any CKEditor that you may use in your custom content forms or field editors as long as your custom component is loading CKEditor from a third-party CDN.

  • If you deploy your own installation package you can use a -relogin parameter when launching the client to force the user to sign in as part of the upgrade process. This is required only for this release because the change in the format of the authentication refresh token means that the user's existing access token won't automatically renew. More...
