Portal Interface operates with the Enterprise Portal version 6.0 security system. When you log in to Portal Interface, Enterprise Security:
Authenticates users based on names and passwords
Checks to see if user passwords are nearing expiration
Identifies user roles
This information is used during login to gain access to the system. Specifically, the administrator associates pages with security roles. Pages and portlets that are part of the user’s configuration are checked at login, and eliminated if not part of the user’s currently assigned roles.
During a user’s session, customizable features allow users to add additional portlets to their pages. The list of portlets presented for addition is filtered based on the user’s assigned roles established at time of login.
