After Oracle WebCenter Collaboration has been installed, it is important that you configure some initial administration elements to make Oracle WebCenter Collaboration useful to your users. We recommend that you do the following:
Integrate groupware such as Lotus Notes and Microsoft Exchange with Oracle WebCenter Collaboration. For more information, see Groupware Servers and Groupware Servers (Setting).
Check what the maximum file upload size is set to in the maxUploadMegaBytes parameter of config.xml, and change it if necessary. By default, config.xml is installed in <install_dir>\<version_number>\settings\config.
Configure Oracle WebCenter Collaboration settings on the Miscellaneous Settings page, such as maximum project size and personal projects.
Use the Diagnostics page to make sure that Oracle WebCenter Collaboration is installed and running correctly.
Assign key Oracle WebCenter Collaboration users to activity rights. An activity right lets users perform various actions in Oracle WebCenter Collaboration. Because projects are at the core of Oracle WebCenter Collaboration's functionality, you should assign the Manage Collaboration Projects activity right to at least one user so they can create one or more projects. For more information about activity rights and step-by-step instructions on how to grant an activity right to a user, see About Activity Rights.
After one or more projects have been created in Oracle WebCenter Collaboration, assign key Oracle WebCenter Collaboration users to roles. Roles provide users with:
Permissions to perform various actions on project objects.
Access to project information.
For more information, see About Roles.
Configure instant messaging integration. For more information, see Administrator Guide for Oracle WebCenter Collaboration.
