Assign User Access to the Portlets

Assign access so that users can see the portlets and the content that the portlets display. For example, if you create a portlet to show project data, provide access for users to see the portlet and the project data. You can assign access in the following ways:

• Assign the global access right Portlet - Viewer - All to let users view all portlets in the product.
• Assign the access right to view a specific portlet only.

Note: Users must have access rights to the portlet and to the data that appears in the portlet.

The following procedure explains how to assign individual users access to a specific portlet. You can also assign access by group or OBS unit.

Note: For more information about assigning access by group or OBS unit, see the Administration Guide.

Follow these steps:

1. Open Administration, and from Studio, click Portlets.
2. Click the name of the portlet.
3. Open the Access to this Portlet menu and click Resource.
4. Click Add.

   The first step of a two-step process appears.

5. Select Portlet - View and click Add and Continue.

   If you want users to be able to edit the portlet, select all access rights.

   The second step of the two-step process appears.

6. Select the names of the users to whom you want to assign access and click Add.

   If you have a long list of users to add, click Add and Select More.

7. Click Return when you are done.
