All users have implicit (and irrevocable) view permission on taxonomies. Broadly speaking, this permission enables any user to access any taxonomy for the purpose of classifying or filtering registry objects. However, taxonomies have the following additional properties that control whether they are visible to users within the CentraSite Control user interface.
Property | Description |
---|---|
Taxonomy is Browsable | Determines whether the taxonomy appears in the
taxonomy lists that CentraSite Control displays to users for the purposes of
classifying or filtering objects. If this property is enabled for a taxonomy,
CentraSite Control includes the taxonomy in the following lists:
The Taxonomy is Browsable property is an attribute that you set when you create a taxonomy. You might disable this property, for example, if a taxonomy is intended to be used to classify objects programmatically (e.g., using a policy). Doing this will prevent end users from using the taxonomy to classify assets using the Classification profile in CentraSite Control. You can also use this property to suppress the display of the predefined taxonomies that CentraSite installs. For example, if your site has no need to use the NAICS taxonomies provided by CentraSite, you can eliminate them from the taxonomy lists displayed in CentraSite Control by disabling their Taxonomy is Browsable property. |
Applicable to Object Types | When a taxonomy is browsable (i.e., when its Taxonomy is Browsable property is enabled), the Applicable to Object Types property determines for which object types the taxonomy will be shown. For example, if you specify that a taxonomy is not applicable to XML Schemas, CentraSite Control will not include the taxonomy in the taxonomy lists that users see when they add classifiers to XML Schemas. |
Internal | Indicates whether a taxonomy is meant to for use
by end users. Taxonomies that are internal are designed to support
CentraSite's own internal processes and are, therefore, suppressed from most
taxonomy lists displayed in CentraSite Control.
A taxonomy's Internal property cannot be assigned or viewed through CentraSite Control. It can only be accessed through the API. |
