The Admin Tab

Portal Server enables portal administrators to delegate the responsibility for managing various tasks in a particular organization to other individuals, called delegated administrators. Decentralizing administrative functions can improve portal management, especially in complex organizations. Portal administrators can set up channels for delegated administrators to use for managing the Desktop. To perform administration tasks, delegated administrators use a set of administrative portlets on the Portal Server Desktop. The Admin tab contains the administrative portlets for delegated administrators.
