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. Tab portals do not have separate security access. If a user has access to the main stand-alone portal, then the user will have security access to all its tabs. However, as mentioned in Granting Access to Zones, in some scenarios, the individual zones on the portal may have different security access rights depending on the functionality.

You'll need to know the name of this application service as this is what you use to grant access to the portal.
