This function enables you to use Project Management in the SAP NetWeaver Portal by means of the Business Package for SAP Portfolio and Project Management (see Business Package for SAP Portfolio and Project Management 5.0). Each user has access to various views (see portal role, workset, and iView), depending on his or her authorizations and the portal roles assigned.

The back-end configuration of Project Management is not automatically reflected in the Portal because the content of the portal roles is static and is not adjusted to match. You create the appropriate portal roles and assign them to the PFCG roles so that the authorizations defined in the backend match the portal roles. To do this, you can use the predefined portal role Portfolio and Project Management (see Portfolio and Project Management).

The integration with collaboration rooms is only fully available in the Portal. For more information, see Integration with Collaboration Rooms in Project Management.

If you want to navigate away and have forgotten to save your changes, you can use WorkProtect Mode in the Portal to avoid data loss. For example, you can set WorkProtect Mode up in such a way that the system asks the user whether the unsaved data should be saved before navigation. For more information about WorkProtect Mode, see SAP Library for SAP NetWeaver under  Getting Started - Using SAP Software First Steps Portal Personalizing the Portal Setting Portal Preferences .
