Hi,
On a project, we are looking to perform a couple of
portal admin functionalities from a custom portlet. 1) Assign
portal page permissions & 2) Assign unique URLs to existing
portal pages. Is there a portal API(s) that will allow us to
do this from a custom portlet. The basic flow is as follows:
1. Site admin creates a new portal page.
2. A deployment person uses a custom portlet to register a
new company for access to the ABC portal.
3. The custom client registration portlet creates an LDAP
group to represent the new company.
4. The deployment person selects a portal page that the
company will use and the custom portlet assigns rights to
that page for the new company LDAP group.
5. Custom portlet then creates a unique URL for the selected
page branded for use by the company. Example:
www.abc.com/wps/myportal/COMPANY1 We can of course do this using the OOTB(Out of box) portlet but we are
trying to minimize the work the deployment role has to do
when setting up a new company for access to the abc portal.
Any info will be helpful
In a nutshell, we need to provide a friendly interface that provides a subset of Admin console features..(like assigning access for pages/portlets to groups)...
I am using WebSphere portal 6.1.
