Delegated Administration
The process of "distributing" the administrative content and tasks in the portal to one or more administrators or group administrators is delegating administration. As opposed to the non-delegated portal environment this capability allows you to confining of each administrator or group of administrator, data, the tools, and tasks that is restricted to a specific user or group—, that can expose each administrator to all other administration tools, connected systems,and company data, without restriction.
Delegated administration allows you to do the following:
organizing of the administration framework totally according to your business scenario.
controlling the distribution of portal-related administrative tasks,hence reduces the total cost of ownership (TCO) significantly which is a key function for the "global portal" scenario.
managing large scale portal implementations.
SAP Enterprise Portal offers delegated administration that is fully customisable with user permissions, at these levels:
work sets and Portal roles , and the services (tools) provided by them.
Portal objects like content of the Portal Catalog
Features
1. Administrative Tasks delegation:
All administrative tools available in the portal are in effect iViews, that are integrated subsequently for task-oriented worksets. These worksets are assigned to a predefined sub-administration role in an off-the-shelf installation of SAP Enterprise Portal.
The worksets and pre-configured administration roles serve the purposes of:
Delivering the portal administration like modular building blocks, and hence providing the flexibility of addressing variations in administrative tasks that are performed by one administrator or a group of them.
Providing an example that resembles how one should structure the delegation of administration tasks.
Since the standard SAP role concept is followed by the the pre-configured administration roles you can easily adapt the pre-configured task delegation according to your own admininistration roles or vice versa to suit your environment.
2. Delegating Administration on the Portal Catalog
SAP Enterprise Portal allows the assigning of delegated administration at the level of the Portal Catalog.
The Portal Catalog may include the following objects:
System Landscape objects
Content Objects (iViews, pages, layouts, roles, worksets, packages)
Unification presentation components
KM Objects (resource, taxonomy)
The Portal Catalog does the organization of portal objects, that include the content objects, in a hierarchy. You can set permissions to a node, like a folder containing a group of iViews, or for one object. When objects are below a given node Permissions are inherited to the child . Permissions are editing and reading capabilities of the objects.
You assign permission to folders and objects per role, or user or user group; and hence define who is responsible for customization of object and who is able to just see the objects. After the initial deployment process, the first task of the super administrator is being assignment of default initial content given in the portal, to the which have been defined in the system.
