Access Channels
Channel Manager
The Experience Manager overview displays the channels available to the current CMS user. This list may not include all channels in the system. Channel visibility depends on the user's privileges and other filtering criteria. You can extend channel filtering by implementing custom channel filters. For more information, see Channel Filtering.
Experience Manager Visibility
The Experience Manager is visible only to CMS users who have the following user role:
xm.channel.user
This user role is required to access the Experience Manager. However, having this role does not guarantee that the user can view any channels. Channel visibility depends on additional filtering, as described below.
Channel Filtering
Two built-in channel filters determine which channels a CMS user can see:
ContentReadChannelFilter: Displays only channels where the user has read access to the root content node (for example,/content/documents/myproject).PrivilegeBasedChannelFilter: Displays only channels where the user has thehippo:channel-viewerprivilege on the channel configuration node (for example,/hst:myproject/hst:configuration/myproject).
