When adding content from your analytics environments, Curator will automatically create default template pages for you. These can be accessed via the edit page of those individual pieces of content. However, you may want to create something more tailored for your users to showcase certain content. In this case, using Curator’s page builder allows a huge amount of flexibility for creating and styling your pages, while still allowing you to link to content that is both secured to the user viewing the page as well as relevant based on their recent browsing activity.

Page Security

Pages will first inherit any Restrict Access permission that have been set on the individual menu item. Continuing from there, the permissions will apply according to the sections below. Page security for embedded-content was added in the 2024.03-02 release, all prior releases have no security applied when loading embedded content for pages. The following section only applies to 2024.03-02 and later. Proceed to the Security for Pages Without Embedded Content section if you are on an earlier version.

​
Security for Pages With Embedded Content

When embedding analytic-content into pages, for example a Dashboard, Curator will check permissions on that embedded piece of content. If the user does not have access to the embedded content it will deny them access, routing them to the Access Denied page. This applies to both menu items as well as loading the page directly.

​
Disabling Embedded Content Security

To disable the security check in versions released after 2024.03-02:
  1. Navigate to the backend of the system (e.g. http://curatorexample.com/backend).
  2. Click on Settings > Curator > Portal Settings in the left-hand menu.
  3. On the General tab, scroll down to the Security section and expand it.
  4. Toggle the switch Disable Page Element Security Checks to ON and click the “Save” button.

​
Security for Pages Without Embedded Content

Content that is linked on a page, for example Tiles, will run through permissions checks while loading the page. check when rendering the tiles. So if a page contains a Tile that links to a Dashboard that a user does not have access to the user will simply not see the tile. However, for pages that have content embedded in them, see the Security for Pages With Embedded Content section above.
