Role contentmanagement vs content administration

Question

HI,
We have Enterprise portal installed along with KM and colloboration. Now I see that the KM content is distrubuted in many worksets.. I just want to make clear why it is done so?
There are three places where we deal with KM content
1. System Administration --> System Configuration --> Knowledge Management
2. Content Administration --> KM Content
3. Content Management.
why didnt workset "KM content" be included in Content Management Workset, becuase all the things taht we can do in KM content workset can be done in Content Management Explorer workset, although all the repositories are not defined here.
why didnt they move this KM content stuff to content management?
could someone please explain me?

Answer 1

Hi Shiva,
here a brief explanation:
1. System Administration --> System Configuration --> Knowledge Management
Here you do the KM Configuration, so set up repositories, repository services, etc.
2. Content Administration --> KM Content
This is the place where you can see all KM repositories (depending on permissions of course) and perform administrative tasks, like setting up permissions, run reports, etc.
3. Content Management
This is the place for content manager to manage and structure information and provides the folder structures that end users and authors need to find.
The important difference here is that two different user groups are provided with different worksets. KM Content is intended for Content Administrators who create the iViews in which users access KM folders and can set initial permissions. Only after that is done, the content managers take the responsibility for the KM content of an entire organization or only for a part of an organization, such as a department.
Hope that clarify things,
Robert
