Permissions

With the permission Change portal pages in browser, which can be provided from the menu Portal / Portal access permissions, you can change the default settings (e.g. the number and positioning of the portlets), which apply to all users, for each portal page. You can reach the default settings from Settings / Portal settings directly from a portal page. Afterwards, click on Personal settings and then Default settings.



Here you also have the ability to search for an individual user, in order to change their individual settings.



If you enter a user name into the search field, the results will be output underneath the search field. click on the link to the desired user there. The user's portal page will then be loaded, where you can change the settings of this page. All changes will then only affect the user in question. They do not influence the display of the portal pages of other users. If you click on Anonymous settings, you can change settings for the portal page as it should be viewed by users who have not logged in.

Actions

Reset

As the administrator, you can reset all changes that users have made to the settings on their portal page back to the portal default by clicking on Reset. This default corresponds to the configuration of the portal page as it is shown to you when you are editing the Default settings. Please note, therefore, before performing a reset, that all changes that users have made to their pages will be lost.

Safe mode

Clicking on Safe mode allows pages to be loaded with portlets containing errors on them. Non-functioning portlets can then be deleted, in order to make it possible to load the portal page in normal mode.

Screen effect

User permissions

If you assign the user permission Configure portal, the link Portal settings will be shown to the user. With it, the portal page configuration will be available to the user. Users with this permission can, under Actions, reset their individual portal page to the portal default and start in safe mode. The functions Search portlet and Add portlet are also available there for use. In addition, portlets can be moved via drag & drop on the portal page.



To do so, simply click on the title bar of a portlet and drag it to the desired position. Changing settings of individual portlets via the symbols in the portlet title bar is also made possible with the permission Configure portal. A user may optionally be given the additional permission to add more columns to a portal page or remove them, create portlets or delete them. Click on OK to apply the new settings. The changes will be made effective as soon as a user logs into the portal again.
