Enterprise Portal allows Portal Interface users to share pages with other valid, registered Portal Interface users. Only user-created pages can be shared; that is, catalog pages and default pages cannot be shared.
This feature requires the use of e-mail to send the shared page links.
When sharing user pages:
Users can share user pages across portal installations that use the same portal database. Users are grouped under resources. Each resource corresponds to a portal. Portals can represent companies, divisions, departments, and so on. Recipients select the resource from which they want to receive pages from a drop-down list, before they preview and accept a shared page.
You cannot share pages that contain secure portlets; that is, portlets with content captured from secure Web sites.
You cannot share default pages.
When you send a page to someone who has never logged in to Portal Interface, the recipient must first self-register, then accept or decline the shared page.
Users cannot self-register through the shared page accept
or decline function.
If the recipient does not have the appropriate role to see a portlet on the shared page, that portlet is not visible to the recipient.
Sending a page
Select the page to share and click “Share Page” on the secondary navigation control in Portal Interface.
