Overview of Visitor Entitlements

Visitor Entitlements are a mechanism for determining who may access the resources in a portal application and what they may do with those resources. This access is based on the role assigned to a portal visitor, allowing for flexible management of the resources. For example, if you have an Employee Review portlet, you can assign the "Managers" Visitor Entitlement role you created to that portlet, letting only logged in users who belong in that role view the portlet.

For more information about using visitor entitlements as a part of user management, see the User Management Guide on BEA's edocs page.
