How Do I Create Different Views of My Portal for Different Users?

The desktop is the user view of the portal application. There can be one or more desktops per portal, and each desktop can be dynamically assembled based on user preferences and entitlement policies.

A desktop contains all the portlets, content, and look and feel elements necessary to create individual user views of a portal.

To create desktop views of your portal that are available to different users:

1. Create a desktop within a portal.
2. Customize the way it looks and its content.
3. Ensure you have the correct entitlement roles set up.
4. Entitle the desktop and/or some of the desktop elements (books, pages, portlets) to visitor entitlement roles.
5. To see your desktop in a browser, select your desktop in the Portal Resource tree, right click, and select View Desktop.
