All administrative functions are available after clicking on the ' List of all users ' link.
Managing users using the UserPortlet consists of:
Typing a partial username in the form text field, allows you to search for usernames matching that criteria.
Clicking on the Profile link on the search page will allow you to edit a user's profile data, and even reset his password.
The role portlet is dedicated to create and edit roles. A role will be used to grant different permission level to different portlets, pages, or portal instances. A user can have several roles.
The RolePortlet is accessible once logged in as an administrator (admin/admin) from the Admin Page
Managing roles using the RolePortlet consists of:
To create a new role, you need to define a short name that will be used for reference, and a display name for displaying to the user, for example admin would be a good name for the display name Administrators , changing the display name will not affect the security rules.
While editing a role, you just need to pick an exising role then change the display name. Additionally, you can delete existing roles from this screen.
