Portlet Factory, Version 6.1.2

 

Profiling based on the group

You can alter the way your portlet works according to the group to which the user belongs by profiling the underlying IBM® WebSphere Portlet Factory model and associating the profile set with the WPS Group Segment Handler.

To profile a model based on the IBM WebSphere Application Server group to which a user belongs:

  1. In IBM WebSphere Portal Admin: Create any users and groups for your portal application.

  2. In WebSphere Portlet Factory Designer: Create your models, profile sets, and profiles.

  3. In WebSphere Portlet Factory Designer: Profile the builder call inputs that will drive the variability of your portlet.

  4. In WebSphere Portlet Factory Designer's Profile Manager: Use the Select Handler editor to set the selection handler for the profile set to WPS Group Segment Handler.

  5. In WebSphere Portlet Factory Designer's Profile Manager: In the Manage Profiles editor, edit the profile and use the Add External button to specified a group name. You must specify the WebSphere Application Server Group name exactly.

  6. In WebSphere Portal Admin: Set permissions for each of your portlets for each WebSphere Application Server Group.

  7. In WebSphere Portal Admin: Test your profiling by logging in as one of the users and accessing the profiled portlets.
