Knowledge Management profiles

The Knowledge Management (KM) profiles control knowledge document access, creation, editing and administration. The administrative privilege allows users to manage document types, document views, and KM profiles.

Users have a KM security profile and an operator record which determine what privileges the users has. The knowledge document categories that a user can access are determined by the knowledge groups the user is assigned.

Within each security profile, there is a direct association between a defined (named) profile and the categories and sub-categories for which the selected capabilities apply. Each security profile maps to a document category or sub-category. A user with that profile has access to the documents specified by the profile-to-category mapping and all subcategories in that branch of the category tree.

Profiles can be modified to select only some of the available capabilities for a profile, effectively creating sub-profiles. For example, some users may not be allowed to publish knowledge documents externally as well as internally.

The out-of-box KM security profiles are briefly described in the following table.
