Configuration examples

This topic contains an example of how a site administrator can set site preferences to customize what the users see when they log in to the application.

Display only My Workplace to end users

You can restrict access to specific views in the application. You can also configure access to allow only specific users to see some views, while other users see another set of views. A common use is to create My Workplace pages, and then let your end users access the application only through My Workplace pages.

To hide all views except My Workplace pages from all users:

  1. Navigate to Site Preferences > Primary Views.
  2. For each view except My Workplace, set the page to Hide.
  3. Save your changes and close site preferences.

To hide all views except My Workplace pages from specific users

  1. Create an access role that includes only the users that should have access to all views. See Access roles preferences. For example, name the role All Views.
    1. Create a group in your domain that includes the users who should have access to the My Workplace pages. For example, name the group Portal Users.
    2. Create a role named Portal Users.
    3. Add the users who should have access to all views, such as the group #Authenticated-Users.
    4. Add the group that should have only My Workplace access (Portal Users). Set this group to deny access in the Select Access Roles page.
  2. Navigate to Site Preferences > Primary Views.
  3. For each view that you do not want the Portal Users group to access, assign the access role All Views (in this example). Do not assign the access role to the My Workplace view.
  4. Save your changes and close site preferences.
