Views provide a limited set of nodes in the navigation
pane and optional set of startup pages to help users focus on their
tasks. If you have sufficient authorization in the portal, you can
change the view name, navigation content, and access permissions for
system and custom views. You can delete only custom views. Changes
you make to a system view are saved as System Customized.
Procedure
- In the navigation pane, click .
The Views page
is displayed with the list of system and custom views in the portal.
- Click the view name in the list displayed in Views.
This displays the view's properties.
- Optional: Expand Roles with Access
to This View to update the list of roles with permissions
to the view and their access level.
A list of all roles
with access to the view is displayed.
- User
- Roles with User access, have view access to the configured portlet,
when it is subsequently added to a page.
- Privileged User
- Roles with privileged user access, have view access and such users
can personalize their own experience of a portlet through the icon in the portlet
taskbar. Personalizing a portlet does not affect the experience of
other users of the portlet.
- Editor
Roles with Editor access can subsequently edit shared settings
for a portlet through the icon in the taskbar.
When an editor modifies shared settings, it affects other portlet
user settings for that portlet.
Also, roles with Editor access
can subsequently edit the portlet's general settings in the Portlet
Wizard. Editor access (unlike manager access) does not provide access
to portlet-specific customization pages or to the security settings
page in the Portlet Wizard.
- Manager
- Roles with Manager access can subsequently modify any aspect of
the portlet in the Edit Portlet Wizard.
Note: As the creator of the
custom portlet you are given Manager access by default.
Note: Granting access to the view does
not grant access to the pages within the view.
- Optional: Expand Pages in This View to
change which pages are displayed in the navigation when the view is
selected.
