Permissions play an important part in accessing and performing actions in the Portal. Depending on permissions assigned by an administrator, users can either access or edit portals, pages and portlets. GateIn Portal have applied several permission levels:
- Portal : The portal includes all pages, pages only can be accessed if the user has also access the Portal.
- Page : You can restrict the access to single pages. Users can change page information (properties, layout) if they have the edit right.
- Portlet : When users create a page, they need to drag and drop portlets into a page to create the page content. Some portlets are only used for administrators, some are used for individual needs of a group thus you have to set the appropriate access permission.
The three above permission levels helps users assign access and edit permissions clearly and flexibly.
You have to set permission for new portals as well as existing portals:
For new portals: on the Toolbar select Site then click on the Add New Portal button, select the Permission Setting tab then the Access Permission Setting sub tab.
For existing portals: on the Toolbar click Site Editor then Edit Page . Click on View Page properties then select the Permission Setting tab.
If you do not want everyone to access the Portal, do not select the Make it public check box and you have to select group by group. Do as follows:
Click the Add Permission button.

After selecting a membership type, the selected permission is displayed in the access permission list. Each time, you only can select one group with one membership type. If you want to add more, click Add Permission and select again.
Only users who are in the portal editor group can edit that portal. Access rights can be given to several groups but edit rights can only be given to a group with a membership type (or every membership type by select ). To assign an edit permission to a user, you must add him to the editor group of the respective portal.
Use one of these following paths to assign permissions on a portal:
- On the Toolbar select Site -> Add New Portal -> Permission Setting tab --> Edit Permission Setting sub tab.
- On the Toolbar click Site Editor -> Edit Page -> View Page properties -> Permission Setting tab --> Edit Permission Setting sub tab.
Click Select Permission to choose a group.
