Scope

All the mechanisms decribed above are designed to check a permission configuration. But when should which methods be used and how are they interrelated? Mandatory requirements for permission checks are:

• Utilisation of the FirstSpirit permission component
• Utilisation of the module FirstSpirit Personalization

It is also possible to use a different permission component or personalization module, but this would require adaptations.

Basically, permission checks on the section layer (i.e. within a page) are only possible via the FirstSpirit personalization module. If independent objects (e.g. pages, media or PDF documents) are to be protected, the secure media mechanism or the Checking of access rights via the Access Control Database can be used in addition to personalization.
