Creating Default Profiles to Customize a Users Initial Portal
Experience
When new
authenticated users are created in the portal, the following settings
are
based on default profiles: initial My Account settings, name and number
of My Pages, and layout of the portlets on those My Pages.
To create
a default profile you need the following rights:
- Access Administration activity right
- Access Utilities activity right
- Click Administration.
- In the Select Utility drop-down
list, click Default Profiles.
The Default Profiles folder opens.
- In the Create Object drop-down list,
click User.
- In the Login Name box, type a name
for this default profile.
Users created from this default profile will have their own
user names and passwords.
Note:
- Do not select This is a guest account.
Instead, to create a guest user, go to a different
administrative folder, create a user there, and make that user a guest.
- Do not add this user to any groups. Group memberships are not
inherited by users
created from default profiles. You set group membership through invitations
or authentication
sources.
After you have created a default profile, edit its layout.
