IBM WebSphere Portal 8.5: User assistance for adminstrators
Access
Control who has access to the site.
Managing users and groups
View, create, and delete users and user groups. You can also change
group memberships. Before you can modify user and group information, you must
have the appropriate level of authorization.
Working with resource permissions
You can control whether a resource propagates or inherits
its role assignments, assign roles explicitly to specific users and groups,
place resources under the control of an external security manager or bring
externalized resources back under the control of portal, create or delete
roles on externalized resources, view inherited role assignments for specific
users and groups, and modify resource owners.
Managing permissions for users and groups
View and modify the access rights that users and user groups have
for resources. Access rights are determined by role assignments.
Managing credential information
Credential Vault holds credential information and allows portlets
to access the credentials to provide single sign-on authentication. Credential
Vault allows you to add and manage vault segments and resources as well as
managing system and user vault slot. You can create a vault slot for each
known application in the portal that requires access to secure resources.
