Within your portal implementation,
you might use the publish and subscribe capabilities to publish (write)
and subscribe to (read) group folders on a WebDAV publication channel.
The following scenario
shows the application's publish and subscribe setup for sales and
executive teams that need different access to read (subscribe to)
and write (publish) information that is stored in three different
directories on the SAS Content Server. On the SAS Metadata Server,
these teams are represented by two groups, Americas Sales and Sales
Executives.
This publish and subscribe
scenario has a requirement for three different content areas, or group
folders, on the SAS Content Server:
-
Catalog Sales: The
/sasdav/Catalog
Sales
directory contains catalog sales information.
The Americas Sales and Sales Executives groups can both read (subscribe
to) and write (publish) information.
-
Field Sales: The
/sasdav/Field
Sales
directory contains direct sales information.
The Americas Sales and Sales Executives groups can both read, but
only the Sales Executives group can write information.
-
Sales Execs: The
/sasdav/Sales
Execs
directory contains executive-level sales information.
Only the Sales Executives group can read and write information.
The following table
summarizes this scenario's group-based folders on the SAS Content
Server, and the permissions for each group:

To create this sample
configuration, follow these steps:
-
In SAS Management Console,
define the users, groups, and login credentials that need to access
the SAS Content Server. When you define login credentials, you must
specify the same authentication domain name that you specified for
the SAS Content server during installation.
For this example, the
following users, groups, and logins are defined:
Example Users, Groups, and Logins
Group Metadata Identities

For example, the America
Sales group contains a user named salesusr1 as a member, and salesusr1
has an associated login with a user ID of salesusr1 and an authentication
domain of DefaultAuth. The America Sales group might include other
members as well.
-
In the SAS Web Administration
Console, create your new directory under the sasdav directory. For
this example, navigate to the
sasdav
directory,
and then create these three subdirectories:
Catalog
Sales
,
Field Sales
,
and
Sales Execs
.
-
In the SAS Web Administration
Console, configure the access permissions for the folders that you
created. For this example, set the access permissions for each subdirectory,
using the following tables as guides:
