IBM Content Navigator, Version 2.0.3 Supports: Content Manager

Teamspaces on IBM Content Manager Enterprise Edition servers

Teamspaces provide a focused view of the relevant documents, folders, and searches that team members need to complete their tasks. You can use teamspaces to organize and share content, facilitate recurring work, and collect documents, folders, and searches that are related to a project. If you plan to use teamspaces with your IBM® Content Manager Enterprise Edition system, you must determine who is able to create and modify roles, templates, and teamspaces.

Restriction: The teamspace feature requires IBM Content Manager Enterprise Edition, Version 8.4.3 or later.

When you enable the teamspace feature for an IBM Content Manager repository in the IBM Content Navigator administration tool, IBM Content Navigator adds the following items to your IBM Content Manager data model:

Item types: ICMTeamspace, ICMTeamspaceTemplate, ICMRole, Document, and Folder.
ACLs: ClbTeamspaceACL, ClbTeamspaceTemplateACL, clbDocumentACL, clbFolderACL, and PublicReadACL.
Privilege sets: clbTeamspaceCreator
Privileges: addNewSearches, shareSearches, addRemoveClasses, addRemoveRoleParticipants, createNewSearches, and modifyRoles.

Remember: From the IBM Content Navigator administration tool, you must log in to the repository as a library server administrator (such as icmadmin) to update the data model on the repository.

Teamspace templates

The following pieces of the data model are used for teamspace templates:

The ICMTeamspaceTemplate and ICMRole item types are used to store information about teamspace templates.

Teamspaces

The following pieces of the data model are used for teamspaces:

The ICMTeamspace item type is used to store information about a teamspace.
The clbTeamspaceACL access control list is used to control the security of the ICMTeamspace item type.

The IBM Content Navigator administration tool assigns the appropriate privileges to users and groups who are assigned to the following roles:

Teamspace template creators
Teamspace creators
Teamspace users

For more information about the privileges that are assigned for each role, see Security settings for teamspaces on IBM Content Manager repositories.

Documents and folders

By default, the security of the Document item type and the Folder item type are controlled by the ClbTeamspaceACL. This means that the same ACL applies to documents, folders, and teamspaces.

The IBM Content Navigator administration tool uses these default settings. If you want to manage the security of documents and folders separately, you must use the IBM Content Manager system administration client to associate separate ACLs with the Document and Folder item types. For more information, see Customizing the security settings outside of the IBM Content Navigator administration tool
