Personalization

Personalization: Users, Roles, Rights

Most portal providers talk about personalization if they are able to display entire web pages for single users or groups.

By using the Fasihi Enterprise Portal® you may even personalize individual elements, services and portal functionalities.

Access Control for Users and Groups

The portal provides the following functions for controlling access and rights for users and groups:

• Interlacing of groups for displaying hierarchical teams
• Assignment of groups on the basis of various criteria by using multi-groups
• Dynamic assignment of roles based on fixed user criteria, e.g. department
• Aplication for acceptance to a group via an integrated application form

Rights Management for Fine-Grained Contents

Whether for security reasons, for information channeling or for the specification of target groups – all objects can be made available in a personalized way and for a limited period.

Users can only edit those contents for which they possess the respective rights (read, write, delete, publish or admin rights). Moreover, only those functions will be made available to them for which they possess the corresponding rights. There will be edit buttons for users possessing write rights, or links to contents for those users possessing publish rights and who are therefore allowed to release these contents.

Greatest Flexibility in Providing Personalized Contents

Application examples for personalized contents

• You can give access to discussion forums for all the users – and, then again, you may personalize each topic, contribution to a discussion or posting.
• On request, (order) forms can be called filled out in advance with user data. Thus, business processes will be accelerated as well as the subscription of newsletters or the submission of applications.
• Apply for a list of the portal modifications carried out since your last visit
• Create personalized front pages for your users for an automatic control of the portal
• Provide the possibility for your users to create their own favourites or bookmarks for a quicker access to popular areas on the portal.

LDAP Authentication

Besides the portal internal user administration, authentication can also be carried out against external user directories, such as LDAP, so that the administration of registered users can be exported completely. Especially with large numbers of users, widespread infrastructures and high labour turnover, this only requires little maintenance effort.

However, it is also possible to get a mix of a portal internal and external administration.

Moreover, personalization is also possible independently of the rights management. Read more about Personalized Referencing.
