Users Must Be Granted Security Access To Each Zone

An application service is associated with each zone. A user must be granted access rights to the respective application service in order to see a zone on a portal page.

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

Application security impacts a user's zones in the following ways:

A user's Portal Preferences page contains a row for every zone on every portal page regardless of whether the user has access rights to the zone. Because of this, the system displays an indication of the user's access rights to each zone.
If a user's access rights to a zone are revoked, the zone will be suppressed when the user navigates to the respective portal page.
Revoking a user's access rights does not change the user's Portal Preferences (e.g., a user can indicate they want to see a zone even if they don't have access to the zone - such a zone just won't appear when the respective portal page appears).
