1. Obtain the Widget Catalog template (TOOLBOX.NTF).

The template is installed with the IBM® Lotus® Domino® server.

3. Assign ACLs to control access rights to the catalog application for administrators, power users, and end users.

Administrators and power users need read and write access to the catalog.

Administrators must be granted the [Admins] role in the catalog Access Control List (ACL). Administrators also need one of the following access rights to the catalog:

• Manager
• Designer
• Editor
End users may not be set up to browse and access the catalog directly but rather to obtain widget actions automatically by way of their membership in specific widget categories. End users, if they are not allowed to create and configure widgets, need Reader access to the catalog; otherwise it is recommended that end users are granted Author access to the catalog.

There are two types of predefined categories in the catalog - administrator categories and categories. Both of these categories are defined in the Administration/Keyword view. Administrator categories are named "ADMIN-Categories", while the other categories keyword is named "Categories".

Note You can assign policies or preferences to designate user access to the catalog.

A local copy of the catalog will be created on the user's client system and periodically updated based on a 24 hour (default) replication schedule.
