Prerequisites

Your system administrator has assigned the portal role for creating rooms to your portal user.

  1. To launch the room creation wizard, choose Collaboration → Room Creation.

    The first step in the room creation wizard, to define the properties and choose the room template, appears.

  2. Enter the following data:

The owner is a portal user who receives permission to edit the room (properties, member list, room relations).
