A portal is the entry point that allows your end users to discover the published applications they have access to: Applications will be displayed in the portal with their title, a short description, and an image. End users can then access the application with a click.
Consequently, sharing the link to the portal is sufficient to give end users access to their published applications (sharing links to single applications still remains possible).
Each environment comes with a single portal. Generally, end users will access their applications through your organization's Live portal. However, if you are working with Multi-client applications, your client’s end users will access the published applications through their respective client environment's portal.
An admin must add the published application to the portal before it is displayed. Also, end users can only access applications and their components if they have the necessary end user access rights. If they do not have access, this application will not be displayed to them in the portal. If end users do not have access to a module or data view within an application that they have access to, that module or data view will not be visible to them when they open the application.
Configure portals
Admins and authors can both contribute to an up-to-date and easy-to-use portal:
- Admins configure the theme of the portal and decide which published applications are displayed. Learn here how to do this.
- When publishing, authors can set up and style a portal card for their application to configure how it is displayed in the portal. Learn here how to do this.
