7.2 Listing the Pages You Manage

The User Managed Pages portlet provides a window on all of the pages that you manage within a given page group. The portlet not only lists all of the pages on which you have the page privilege Manage, but also provides a link to each page for quick access.

Note:

To add this portlet so that all authenticated users can see it, you must have at least the page privilege Manage Content on the page where you will place it.

You can also add the User Managed Pages portlet to your own view of a page if you have at least the page privilege Add-Only Personalize Portlets on the page. The portlet will be visible only in your personal view the page; other users will not see it in their views.

For information on page privileges, see Appendix B, "Page Group Object Privileges".

    Note:

    For the Personalize link to display in the portlet's header, the containing page must be in View mode, and Headers and the Personalize Link must be enabled in the portlet region's Portlet Display Options. For more information, see Section 10.2, "Configuring Region Display Options".
