Add and manage portals

This page explains how to create a portal within a workspace, activate it, and manage it after creation. For an explanation of portal types and how portals relate to workspaces, see Understanding workspaces and portals.

Before you begin, ensure you have Set up a workspace.

Add a portal

  1. Open your workspace.

  2. In the left-hand navigation, select Administration.

  3. Select Portal Management.

  4. Select Add Portal.

  5. In the Name field, enter a name for the portal.

  6. In the URL field, enter the URL for the portal.

  7. In the Type field, select a portal type from the dropdown.

    Portal type cannot be changed after the portal is created. See Understanding workspaces and portals for a description of each portal type.
  8. In the Locale field, select the default locale for the portal. The default is English (United Kingdom).

  9. Select Create.

The modal closes and the new portal appears in Portal Management. At this stage the portal is inactive and not accessible to users.

Activate a portal

  1. In Portal Management, locate the portal card.

  2. Select the …​ menu in the top-right corner of the card.

  3. Select Activate.

The portal becomes active and accessible to users. To deactivate a portal, select the …​ menu again and select Deactivate.

Configure portal settings

Portal settings allow you to update the portal name, URL, locale, and logo after creation.

  1. Open the portal.

  2. Select the cog icon in the top-right of the portal view.

  3. Select Portal Settings.

  4. Select Settings to open the settings panel.

    The Type field is displayed but cannot be changed.
  6. To add or replace the portal logo, select Choose Asset. An asset picker opens. Select the logo asset and select Select.

  7. Select Save Changes.

Set portal permissions

By default, no permissions are set against a portal and all authenticated users in the workspace can access it. To restrict access to specific user groups, configure portal permissions.

Only the user who created a portal can set or update its permissions.
  1. In Portal Settings, select Settings.

  2. Under Portal Permissions, select Permissions.

  3. Select one or more user groups from the User Groups dropdown. Groups are defined in LUMA.

  4. Select Save Changes.

Only users in the selected groups can now access this portal. To remove a group, select the bin icon next to the group name.

Edit or delete a portal

  1. In Portal Management, select the …​ menu on the portal card.

  2. Select Edit to update the portal name, URL, type, or locale.

  3. Select Delete to permanently remove the portal.

Deleting a portal removes all associated pages, navigation, and permissions and cannot be undone.
