Understanding Preconfigured Portal Roles
Preconfigured roles enable portal users to access the full scope of standard portal content. The preconfigured roles are shipped with the default portal installation, and can be modified as needed to suit any business environment.
The portal provides a modular administration approach for delegating the portal's administrative tasks-you can use the standard SAP administration roles (see Administration Roles ) or create your own administration roles to suit your environment (see Delegating Administration Tasks ).
In addition, the portal provides several every user roles that support nonadministrative portal tasks. Each every user role is tailored to suit a specific scenario or installation (see Every User Roles ).
Do not modify objects located in the standard Content Provided by SAP folder ( pcd:portal_content/com.sap.pct ). Objects under this folder are reserved for SAP use only and are liable to change from version to version, including patch upgrades.
Before you begin to modify the standard roles, read Delta Links and SAP Content Objects .
For information about the initial permissions assigned to the preconfigured, see Default Permissions .
The following table lists the preconfigured roles shipped with the portal:

Additional roles are installed with the portal to support specialized SAP NetWeaver capabilities. You may need to activate or populate these roles with users to be make them visible. For example, the KM and collaboration components provide worksets that are integrated into the standard roles of the portal, and the Guided Procedures framework also provides additional portal roles.
