Use Resource Finder for Profile Pages |
Select to use Resource Finder participant profiles as the source for participant information for Collaborative Workspaces and Content Management. In Collaborative Workspaces, these Resource Finder participant profiles will be used as the source for member profiles accessible from the Members module. When a user clicks a member name link in the Members module, the member profile that appears will be based on the member's Resource Finder participant profile. In Content Management, these Resource Finder participant profiles will be used as the source for user profiles accessible by clicking user name links in the components. For example, fields such as Created By, Checked Out By, and so forth will contain user name links. For this option to work as designed, you must have the following setup in place:
If you leave this option blank, when a user clicks a member name link in the Members module, the member profile that appears will be based on information from these tables: PSOPRDEFN, PSUSEREMAIL, EPPCW_MEMBERS, and PS_EPPRC_IM_USERVW. See Member Profile Page. |

Navigation:
This example illustrates the fields and controls on the Portal and Security Defaults page. You can find definitions for the fields and controls later on this page.

Select the portal and security defaults for creating portal registry structures and define the user base role for your system.
Since the base user role on system items is secured by privilege sets, PeopleSoft recommends that you use the delivered role PAPP_USER. If you change the role name, you should also select the option to update the privilege sets on save.
Portal Registry Structures
Registry structures are the stored menu items, pagelets, templates, and such. Many features automatically create portal registry structures, including Pagelet Wizard pagelets, News Publication pagelets, Submitted Menu Items, Manage Navigation, and Shortcut Collections.
Field or Control |
Description |
---|---|
Registry Object Prefix |
Enter a value to use as a prefix for all automatically created portal registry structures. Note: This value allows easy identification of the objects that are in PeopleSoft Application Designer. |
Menu Template Pagelet |
Enter the menu template pagelet value that is to be used when rendering target pages by using Context Manager. Note: PAPP_PT_NAVIGATION_SCR is the delivered default value. If you want to customize and use your own menu template pagelet, enter its value here. |
Base Workspace Template Name |
Select the portal registry template on which all Collaborative Workspace templates and their portal registries are based. |
Base Wiki Space Template Name |
Select the portal registry template on which all Wiki Space templates and their portal registries are based. |

Workspace Security
Field or Control |
Description |
---|---|
Administrator Permission List |
Select the permission list for administrators of the workspace. The delivered permission list is PAPP5350. |
Manager Permission List |
Select the permission list for managers of the workspace. The delivered permission list is PAPP5360. |
User Permission List |

Administrator Role |

User Base Role
Field or Control |
Description |
---|---|
Logged-In User Base Role |
Select the role that enables access to the base objects in the PeopleSoft Interaction Hub features that use privilege sets. The delivered role is PAPP_USER. Every user in the system, other than Guest, must be assigned this role along with the PeopleSoft User role. Note: If you select a role other than PAPP_USER, make sure to select Update Privilege Sets on Save to automatically update the privilege set assignments to the new role. |
Update Privilege Sets on Save |
Select this checkbox to update all privilege set assignments to the base user role when you select Save. This option enables you to change the role name in the privilege set assignment for all the features that have the concept of privilege sets. This enables you to use your own 'base' role instead of the delivered role. So, if you change your base role, it's not a customization. This setting lets you update all the privilege set assignments to your role. We deliver some system data using this role, but some of these privilege set assignments (like for discussions) are not accessible online. |
