### Administering Portals With WebLogic Portal

WebLogic Portal provides a control structure that supports the full portal lifecycle, including design, development, deployment, and management. Once the portal designer has developed the resources required for a portal Web site, the portal administrator can use those resources to assemble, maintain, and modify multiple portals.

Portal administration involves many traditional system administration activities, as well as business user tasks that control the behavior, content, and appearance of portals.

The WebLogic Administration Portal, shown in the following figure, enables portal administrators to manage the following portal features:

- Users, Groups, and Roles—Set visitor and administrative users, group memberships, and global roles.
- Interaction Management—Manage campaigns, content selectors, placeholders, and user segments.
- Portal Management—Manage portals, desktops, books, pages, portlets, and other portal resources.
- Content Management—Manage repositories, types, and content.
- Configuration Settings—Manage portal server and search configuration settings.
