Using EP Security to create a Portal Studio user

This section describes how to use Enterprise Security to create a user with Portal Studio privileges.

StepsCreating a new user to access Portal Studio assets and security

  1. Start Portal Studio using Internet Explorer on Windows, by entering the following URL, substituting your host name, domain, and port number:

    http://$HOSTNAME.$PORTALDOMAIN:port/onepage/index.html
    

    For example, if your machine name is “labnt”, your portal domain is sybase.com, and your port number is 7001, enter:

    http://labnt.sybase.com:7001/onepage/index.html
    

    The Portal Studio login page displays.

  2. Enter the user name “pso” and the password for the PSO (the default user name and password assigned during Enterprise Portal installation).

    NoteTo access Portal Studio, your browser must allow pop-up windows.

  3. In the Associate Resource dialog box, select Portal and click OK.

    Click OK to close the confirmation dialog.

  4. Select Administer | Organizations from the menu in the left pane.

  5. Select Users and click New on the Organization Manager toolbar.

    If you already created a user through Portal Interface registration, you may use that user, or you may create a new user. If you want to use an existing user, go directly to step 7.

  6. When the Create New User window displays, complete the fields. Click Help to see a description of each field.

  7. Click OK.

  8. Grant the new user roles to have all permissions.

    1. Right-click the new user and select Edit Roles.

    2. When the Edit User Roles window displays, click the Add All button, and Click OK. Portal Studio grants all those roles to the user.

    3. Right-click the new user and select List Access Permissions. The window displays Enterprise Portal assets (features), and your permissions for each asset.

      Click OK.

  9. Log out.

  10. Log in as the new user, and when prompted to associate the user with a resource, select Portal. Create some portlets and pages to verify the permissions that were granted to this user. Use information and procedures in the Portal Interface User’s Guide.

    Click OK to close the confirmation dialog.
