Personalizing Properties (Administrators, Portal Users)

After the application is deployed and an application page is created from it, a content administrator can view the page's properties. The custom Web Dynpro properties are displayed in the Web Dynpro category.

By default, the property is personalizable. An administrator can modify the property's default value, and can modify the property's settings so that portal users cannot personalize the value.
