We've got a handful of recurring themes on this blog, but here's another one for you: a showcase of our product line.
As you may know, Function1 offers consulting services to ALI, ALBPM, and Enterprise Social Networking services. But we also write best-in-class products: tools you may have desperately needed, maybe without even knowing it (trust me, we've been in this market segment long enough to understand the product and business challenges you face today and tomorrow!).
Our feature today is "LockDown", an ALUI Security Management product. In a nutshell, this product makes portal security management and administration MUCH easier, providing you more control over your administrative and KD taxonomies than the portal itself offers.
For example, I was at a site a couple months back where the customer had hundreds of communities with individual ACEs (Access Control Entries) created over many years in an administrative folder. At the parent folder, there was a user who had ADMIN access to everything, and she wanted to remove that particular user, who had moved on to other things. Deleting the ACE, she was prompted with the question "You have changed the security of this folder. Would you like to apply the new security settings to all child objects and subfolders?", and clicked "Yes". BOOM! Years of work setting ACLs (Access Control Lists) gone, because the portal COPIES those security settings to all child objects, rather than just CHANGES to them. See this article for another description of the problem.
Enter "Lockdown": Giving you a better way to view your security and administrative taxonomy, it also provides a much richer set of options to propagate your security settings down the administrative taxonomy:
