Groups Authenticated users & Everyone difference

[Former Member]

Hi Everyone,

There are builtin groups Authenticated users & Everyone. when i check for some iviews, folders, their permissions are set to Everyone with enduser as checked and for some objects, the permissions are given as Authenticated users group with enduser as checked.

What is the difference between these two. All the ESS/MSS objects has given the permission as Authenticated users group with Enduser checked.

anyone clarify this doubt.

Regards,

EP.

Hi,

There are two kinds of Properties for an Portal Content Object,

1. Administrator Permission- create/modify/read/ permissions etc privilatges on the object. These are Design Time Permissions

2. EndUser- When a user is assigned a end User Permission, he can view the content at runtime i.e. If the iView is assigned to the User (via iView assigned to a role, and role has an entry point and assigned to the user) and he has only the end user Permission, then he can login and view the runtime content only. A kind of end user privilage.

Now,

1. Authenticated Users: the Users who have entered their logon info/ used a certificate to Login to the Portal/ to say users who have authenticated themselves to Portal are the Authenticated Users. The User Group is named so.

2. Everyone- All the Users- Authenticated or not fall in this group. Sometimes Content can be accessed directly with a URL without any Logon.

Based on who can access the End user Content, the End User permission is provided in Permission settings, i.e.in the ACL of that Object.

Hope this answers your question. Reward points for Helpful answers.
