Assigning Portal Roles for Collaboration To
Users 
Permissions for activities in the portal are stored in portal roles. SAP delivers predefined portal roles in the Portal Content Directory (PCD). To give users permission to configure or use Collaboration capabilities in the portal, you assign the corresponding portal roles to them.

You can tailor the portal roles delivered by SAP and their permissions to suit the requirements of your company.

To prevent the portal roles modified to suit company requirements being overwritten during upgrades, you should copy the roles required to your own namespace.
