Your organization
determines the information that is appropriate for different groups
of users. Then, your portal administrator customizes the information
that is provided to those groups, and deploys different views of the
portal for each group.
Here are
the main tasks that administrators perform:
-
Install the portal along with all
required servers and services, and configure the portal for your environment.
-
Deploy the custom portlets and
applications that developers in your organization have created. Administrators
use the tools that are provided with the portal for this purpose.
-
Deploy the reports, information
maps, stored processes, documents, and other content items that are
available for the portal.
Administrators can
also create XML data files that are based on SAS data sets, and then
add the data files to the WebDAV repository. Portal users can then
create WebDAV graph portlets to display this content.
-
Configure settings that affect
portal behavior for your site. For example, administrators can configure
the portal to accept trusted connections from users who have been
authenticated by the Web application server.
-
Customize the appearance of the
portal. For example, administrators can do the following:
-
Create custom themes and make the
new themes available to portal users.
-
Set up a default theme. When users
log on to the portal, they see the theme that is specified as default.
-
Change the default preferences
that were set during installation. For example, administrators can
change the locale that is used for the portal.
-
Set the default values for page
navigation and package sort order.
-
Configure portal security
by defining users and groups, by assigning users to groups, and by
controlling access to portal content.
-
Set up portal views by creating
content and sharing the content selectively with different groups
of users. For example, administrators might share a set of Web pages,
portlets, and links with a group named Sales Managers. Users who belong
to this group see the shared content when they log on to the portal.
Users can also locate shared content using the search tool.
