Administration: Portals
Use the Portals page in WebCenter Portal Administration to manage portals. The tasks available to you are dependent on your role or permissions:
-
System administrators (or users with
Portal Server-Manage Configuration
permission) can manage any portal, and also import and export portals. -
Portal managers (or members with portal-level
Manage Security and Configuration
orManage Configuration
permission) can manage portal settings, but cannot import and export portals.Note:
When you move around in WebCenter Portal, use application navigation rather than your browser's Back button. Using application navigation keeps you reliably in the application context and prevents a loss of functionality that has been observed when browser navigation is used.
