Chapter 3. Enabling your community

Access to Web Access, the actions a user can perform, and processing within Web Access

are controlled by privilege classes. The privilege class a user is currently running in

determines the user’s Web Access home page and the authorities the user has to certain

records. Other privilege class records are used for special Web Access processing, including

identifying whether you are authorized to perform Web Administration tasks. You should

evaluate the privilege class records that Web Access provides, understand the privilege class

roles, and determine whether you want to use them. This chapter discusses the Web Access

privilege class records and provides information about how to set up your community to use

them. If you decide that you would prefer to use your own privilege class records or define

your own privilege class roles, or both, refer to Chapter 8, “Using existing privilege class

records” on page 83.
