Allowing multiple users access to a websheet

In this recipe , we are going to see how access control can be used to allow different types of users to access websheets.

Getting ready

Before starting this recipe we should have a websheet application containing multiple pages with at least a text section, a navigation section, and a datagrid.

Make sure that there are two APEX users available with websheet access: one named Richard and the other named Sally. Any other name will do as well, but change the names in the rest of this recipe accordingly.

How to do it...

First, log in to the websheet application as an APEX administrator. The role of websheet developer is not enough.

When you are logged in, navigate to the Administration page and select Access Control. Next, click on Create Entry.

In the following screen, we can create users that have different roles. These users will be added to the Access Control List (ACL) for short:

  • Reader is allowed to view content, but cannot edit

  • Contributor is allowed...
