Understanding PeopleSoft eSupplier Connection Pagelets
PeopleSoft eSupplier Connection provides portal pagelets for your corporate intranet or extranet home pages. These pagelets provide access to key data and transactions within PeopleSoft eSupplier Connection for use in supplier portal registries.
You and the suppliers can personalize the portal homepage by adding the pagelets that the suppliers need. Standards PeopleSoft role-based security ensures that users can access only the pagelets appropriate to their roles.
Suppliers can configure their portal home page with three narrow columns or one narrow and one wide column. Some pagelets have both a narrow and a wide version, each with its own object name. When you see two object names for a pagelet, the first one refers to the narrow version.

Similar to page access, you control pagelet security at the component level by associating it with a permission list (which is then associated with a role); each pagelet has its own component to enable more granular access. (You can ascertain a pagelet's component name in PeopleSoft Application Designer by searching for definition references to the page's system, or object, name.)
Pagelets are grouped into functional roles as an example of how to organize access. You need to create the proper permission lists and associate them with actual role definitions before your users can access them, or use the permission list definitions provided in the delivered sample data. Sample data security objects are delivered (roles and permission lists) so that you can use as an example of how to set up pagelet access.
