A page group is a set of pages that are grouped together. You can assign different roles to different page groups to restrict access to only the page groups relevant to specific users.
Page groups created by developers in Web Studio are called system page groups (SPG), as opposed to page groups created by Portal Interface users, which are personal page groups. SPGs represent default or guest page groups.
For a system page group to get updated to Portal Interface, the “page.group” property must be set to “on” in global.properties.xml. When the page.group property is set to “off,” system page groups are still accessible in Portal Interface, but the Web Studio update operation is disabled. See Appendix A, “Configuring Global Properties,” for more information on this file.
WARNING! Do not set the page.group property to “off,” then back to “on.” These actions corrupt the Enterprise Portal onepage resource.
Pages can only be added to page groups. When the page.group property in the global.properties.xml file is set to “on”—the default, users see the page groups for which they have access rights.
In addition, Sybase recommends that portal administrators set the “deferupdate” property in the global.properties.xml file to “on” to ensure that all users receive a refreshed view when they log in to Portal Interface. When deferupdate is set to “off”, the portal is refreshed based on only the current content and recent updates may not display immediately.
For more information on access rights and global.properties.xml, see Appendix A, “Configuring Global Properties.”
