Administration portlets overview

WebSphere Portal has administration portlets that assist you with managing resources. Get an overview of the administration portlets and the tasks you can perform with each portlet. Sub-administrators of virtual portals might not have access to all administration portlets listed here. For more details about virtual portals and which portlets are available in them refer to the topics about Multiple virtual portals.

Perform tasks specific to vault management. You can add or manage vault segments and vault slots.
Resource Policies

View and manage policies for efficient administration of resources. Policies apply rule-based expressions of business logic that control the user's experience with resources when specific conditions exist. From the Resource Policies portlet, you can view the list of policy types for resources. For a policy type, you can edit the policy settings, import and export policy definition files, and assign access to users who will need to work with the policy type. You can edit a policy type and refine it by creating one or more sub-policies. The policy editor makes it easy to select, create, and edit policy rules that consist of simple conditional statements.
