Adding Content Objects to Roles and Worksets 

Use

Portal content is developed to give users access to certain information. Each portal has its own content, which is designed to provide the information that is relevant for a particular company. By assigning content to roles and roles to users, you define the content available to your users.

Prerequisites

Before you can set up a role or workset hierarchy with content objects, all the objects that you want to insert into the role or workset as content objects must be available in the portal.

You can provide the following objects in the Portal Catalog:

·        Roles

·        Worksets

·        Pages

·        iViews

·        iView and page templates

Creating roles or worksets mainly involves creating folder hierarchies and adding the objects types mentioned above to them.

You can also import business packages with preconfigured content into the portal from the Portal Content Portfolio available on the SAP Developer Network at www.sdn.sap.com. For more information read Migrating and Importing of EP 5.0 Content Objects.
