Share pages with other users
Overview
You can share pages that you created or customized with other users. This works for both individual users as well as groups of users in company.You can only share private pages.
When users with whom you have shared the page open that page, they can choose whether or not to add that page to their navigation. You can assign those users either View or Edit access:
Access Description View If you give them View access, they can only view the page. Edit If you give them Edit access, they can edit the shared page with the portal Editor role access. Changes made by an Editor can be seen by all users with whom you shared that page, including yourself as the owner of the page. However, the users to whom you gave Edit access cannot share the page with other users; only the owner of the page can share the page.
When a page editor or owner initially shares a page, the current titles, descriptions, and metadata associated with that page are available to other users when they add the page to their navigation. However, subsequent changes by the owner to this information are not available to other users. Users who view a shared page have control over the titles and descriptions displayed in their view of the shared page.
The description given here applies to non-private pages. When users share a non-private mashup page, the users with whom the page was shared will see the page in their navigation without having to accept the page. For details about private and non-private pages refer to the topic about Sharing content.
Themes and shared pages
When you share a page, the theme used for that page is explicitly set rather than being derived from the default portal theme or a parent theme. If you later change the default portal theme or the parent theme, the theme used for the shared page remains the same as when the page was originally shared. This is also true if you change the default portal theme during migration from a previous version; the theme of the shared page remains the same and does not reflect the new theme.
