Step 3: Entitle a Desktop

1. Select Portals in the main navigation pane.

   

2. In the Portal Resource tree, navigate to Portals -> MyPortal -> Desktop2.
3. Select the Entitlements tab in the Editor pane.

   

4. Select InternalRole, and click Add Role.
5. Check the View capability and click Save.
6. Start a separate browser session and go to the URL: http://localhost:7001/sampleportal/appmanager/MyPortal/desktop1. Login as MyInternalUser, using the default password of password.

   

7. Select the Desktop and Links drop-down menu, and select Desktop2.

   

8. Now return to Desktop1 by selecting Desktop1 in the Desktop and Links drop-down menu.
9. Log out and log back in as MyExternalUser, using the default password of password.
10. Select the Desktop and Links drop-down menu.

    Note: Notice that Desktop2 does not appear as a choice for the external user. Now the default view is Desktop1 and there is no option to change desktops.

You have entitled one of two desktops in MyPortal. Desktop1 is not entitled and is available to all users. By design, resources with no entitlements placed on them are available to everyone. Only InternalRole has been granted the right to view Desktop2. Accordingly MyExternalUser does not have access.
