iPanel Assignments 

In the iPanel Assignments dialog box you assign to roles Unifier projects defined as Portal data sources, and Web components. When a user logs onto the Portal, the iPanel displays all of the Unifier projects and Web components assigned to all of the user’s roles.

Data Source Assignments

Unifier projects defined as Portal data sources are integrated into the Portal environment as iPanels. The data source to role assignments determine whether or not a given Unifier project iPanel appears in a user’s iPanel. Which Unifier project elements are available to the user is determined in the Unifier project itself.

In addition, see User Mapping for information about mapping portal users to a Unifier project-based data source. See SAP Portals - Unification Server documentation for information on Unifier projects.
