Portal content is developed to give users access to certain information. Each portal has its own content, which is designed to provide the information that is relevant for a particular company. By assigning content to roles and roles to users, you define the content available to your users.

Prerequisites

Before you can set up a role or workset hierarchy with content objects, all the objects that you want to insert into the role or workset as content objects must be available in the portal.
