Manage global settings

Define the settings for the portal server. These settings include the default portal language, the first page displayed when a user logs in, the option to set a URL for the Find feature, and what will be displayed when a user is not authorized to view a portlet.

When we have completed the option selection, click Save. To restore to the previous selection of options, click Reset.

A message informs you for which portal server we are setting portal settings.

The Global Settings portlet does not work in portal cluster configurations.

• Specify the default portal language
  Use the Default portal language drop-down list to select the default language in which we would like the portal to appear.

• Specify how to handle portlets the user is not authorized to view
  If a portlet is hidden from a user, we can choose between displaying a message or nothing at all.

• Specify what users see initially when they log in to the portal
  We can choose for users to return to the default portal page or to return to the page of their last visit after logging in, or we can allow users to choose a view after logging in.

• Specify the search engine that opens when users select Find
  We can add a URL for the search engine the users can use in the portal.
