• Page Id

  A string that identifies the page. It is automatically generated when you finish creating the page.

• Owner type

  If the page Owner type is portal the page is created for a portal. Therefore only users who have edit permissions on the portal level can create this page type.
  The name of the current portal is automatically selected for Owner id ensuring the edit permissions are assigned to users who can edit the current portal.
  If the page Owner type is group the page is created for a group. Therefore only users who have manager permissions for that group can create this page type.
  

• Owner Id

  The name of the page owner. When the owner type is set to group, a list of groups will allow you to select one user as the 'owner'.

• Page Name

  The name of the page. This is a required field and must be unique. Only alphabetical, numerical and underscore characters are allowed to be used for this field and the name must be at least 3 and no more than 30 characters in length.

• Page title

  The title of the the page. This is an optional field. If you choose to add a title to the page it must be at least 3 and no more than 30 characters in length.

• Show Max Window

  The option allows users to choose whether the page is shown at maximum size or not.

   Enter values for fields in the Permission Setting tab

   

• Access Permission

  The content of this tab is identical to the Owner type field in the Page Setting tab. Therefore, all users having access rights for the type selected in the Owner type field will appear in this tab. But users can also change the value of this tab.
  Check the check box if you want to share access with everyone or click the Add Permission button to assign permission on group level, then select a group and membership or click the trash can icon to remove a group from the list.
  

• Edit Permission

  The content of this tab depends on the value of the Owner type field in the Page Setting tab.
  If the Owner type is "group", edit permission is assigned to users who are "manager" of the group that is selected in Owner id. You can only change this value when editing the page.
