Setting Security for a Portlet

By default, a new portlet inherits the security of the parent folder, but you can change the security of each individual portlet.

  1. Open the Portlet Editor by creating a new portlet or editing an existing one.
  2. Click the Security page.
  3. Specify which users and groups can access this portlet and what type of access they have:
    • To allow additional users or groups access to this portlet, click Add Users/Groups.
    • If this portlet can be added to My Pages and is not a header, footer, or content canvas portlet, you can force users or groups to include this portlet on their default My Pages. To do so, in the Mandatory drop-down list, click Mandatory.

      Note: Users and groups for which this portlet is mandatory will not be able to remove this portlet from their My Pages.
    • To specify the type of access a user or group has, in the drop-down list under the Privilege column, select the access type.

      For a description of the available privileges, see About Access Privileges.

      Note: If a user is a member of more than one group included in the list, or if they are included as an individual user and as part of a group, that user gets the highest access available to her for this object. For example, if a user is part of the Everyone group (which has Read access) and the Administrators Group (which has Admin access), that user gets the higher privilege to the community: Admin.
    • To delete a user or group, select the user or group and click .

      To select or clear all of the user and group check boxes, select or clear the check box to the left of Users/Groups.

    • To see what users are included in a group, click the group name.
    • To change the column used for sorting or to toggle the sort order between ascending and descending, click the column name.

      You see an icon ( or ) to the right of the column name by which the objects are sorted.

    • If you chose Mandatory for any user or group, in the Mandatory Portlet Priority drop-down list, set this portlet's priority.

      The priority determines the portlet's placement on the My Page; portlets with higher priority display closer to the upper-left of the My Page then portlets with lower priority.
