Who is this article for?

Site Administrators who want to configure Portal Groups for individual Users.

Site Admin permissions are required.

Portal Groups allow you to collate multiple Portals into one location, sorting them into tabs on a single page. As visibility permissions are unique to individual Portals, not Portal Groups, you can tailor what different Users see within the same Portal Group. This guide will show you how to do that.

1. Tailoring Portal Groups

To get full access to all content within a Portal Group, a User needs to have visibility of not only the Portal Group, but also of each individual Portal within it. This is true for Site Administrators.

Let's have a look at an example.

Portal Group, 'Feedback and Incidents', contains five Portals shown as five separate tabs.

James and Sandra are both active users of the Feedback module and want to have access to this Portal Group. However, James hasn't yet been trained to handle Incidents, and Sandra doesn't have clearance to deal with FOI Requests.

As such, neither of them should be allowed to see all the tabs in this Portal Group.

To restrict their views to only the tabs they should see, make sure James doesn't have the 'Feedback-Incidents Dashboard' assigned to him, and that Sandra doesn't have 'Feedback-FOI Dashboard' assigned to her.

This will result in each of them having access to the Portal Group but seeing only four tabs.
