Which Features Can Be Assigned To User Roles?

You assign settings, portals, searches and reports to individual user roles in the Role Assignments page of the Administration tab:

Settings

Specify the default settings for each user role. You can also optionally enforce individual settings to prevent users from modifying them.

Available settings are organized into these groups:

Types of portlets that can be created

Specify which portlets users can create and add to their home page.

The portlet types that you select are added to the New Portlet tab in the Customize dialog. The New Portlet tab lists the portlet types available to users who want to add a personal portlet to their home page.

Note: This element is only visible if the role that you are editing has 'Allow portlet creation' enabled. You can allow or disallow portlet creation for all users under Home Page, Settings.

Portlets that are ready to be used on the Home Page

Specify which global portlets users can add to their home page.

The global portlets that you select are added to the Global Portlet tab in the Customize dialog. The Global Portlet tab lists all existing global portlets that users can add to their home page.

Available Search and Reports

Specify which searches and reports are available to users with the current role. These searches and reports are listed on the Review tab.
