Granting Access to A Portal

An application service is associated with each stand-alone portal. A user must be granted access rights to the respective application service in order to see a portal.

Fastpath: Refer to The Big Picture Of Application Security for information about granting users access rights to an application service.

Note: Automatically created. When you add a new stand-alone portal, the system automatically creates an application service behind the scenes. You'll need to know the name of this application service as this is what you use to grant access to the portal. The name of each stand-alone portal's application service is shown on the portal transaction.

Please note the following in respect of how application security impacts a user's zones:

A user's Portal Preferences page only shows the portals configured to show on user preferences and where they have security access.
The system's menus only show portals to which a user has security access.
Users can set up favorite links to all portals, but they must have security rights to the portal's application service in order to invoke the favorite link.
