Permission Model for
Portal Components and Portal WEB Services 
Purpose
The objective of the model implemented in the portal runtime to control permissions for components is to control access to the following portal objects:
- Portal components that are started using the prtroot URL.
- Portal services accessed as WEB Services by the SOAP connection.
It relies on two concepts:
· Security zone
A catalogue containing a set of portal components and portal services, to which ACLs are attached and checked at runtime when the portal object belonging to a zone is accessed.
· Safety Level
A safety level in a zone. It enables you to group objects that belong to a zone into different categories.
