Working with standard widgets
The Standard Widgets page displays a listing of all standard widgets. If permissions have been set, the Permissions column contains the keyword Restricted. The default permission is that a standard widget is displayed in the Widget Catalog and that all users can configure the widget.
As the administrator, you can set permissions to standard widgets by user, role, or group.
It is important to understand that changing the permissions on a standard widget affects all published widgets that are based on that widget. If a standard widget is disabled, all published widgets based on that widget are not available in the Widget Catalog, and pages that contain either the standard widget or the published widget are displayed as inactive with an unavailable icon.
The Standard Widgets page has all actions available in the toolbars above the list:
- The static toolbar with actions available for all widgets
- The expanded toolbar, dynamically displayed with actions available for selected widgets
You can search, sort, and filter to affect which widgets are shown. To display more widgets that match the search, click below the list. When one or more filters are in use, There are active filters. is displayed at the bottom of the list next to a option, available for deactivating the filters.
All possible actions are available from the menu. Actions that are available only for either single or multiple selection are enabled when they can be used.
These actions are available from the menu:
| Action | Description |
|---|---|
| Edit Permissions | Displays the Widget Permissions dialog where you can remove, add, and edit permissions. |
| Copy Permissions | Copies all permissions for the selected widget to the clipboard. |
| Apply Permissions | Adds the permissions from the clipboard and updates the values for existing groups and users without removing existing entries. |
| Replace Permissions | Clears any existing permissions and adds the permissions from the clipboard. |
| Clear permissions | Removes all permissions for the selected widgets. This action enables all users to configure the standard widget and makes it available in the Widget Catalog. |
Permissions apply to both standard and published widgets. For instructions on adding, updating, and removing widget permissions, see Working with widget permissions." For information on understanding widget permissions see "Understanding permissions for widgets."
