Portal Role Concept

 

Description

 

The output is a definition of the role concept, which shall be implemented in the portal. This could include

 

·         role classification schema with criterias, which are relevant for the role definition (e.g. region, organization unit …)

·         role management concept (when and how will new roles be created?)

·         the merge logic for role redundancies (if several roles are assigned to one user)

·         the company’s naming convention for roles

 

Additionally the output should specify the required roles for the portal go live. This should include

 

·         the role Ids

·         the related worksets, pages and content components

·         the required user groups

·         the assignment of users/usergroups to roles

 

Process

A starting point for defining roles could be the usergroups and organizational roles of the basic content requirements and the defined high level portal navigation structure.

Further targets influencing the definition process could be

 

·         requirement for a highly personalizable and individual portal user interface

·         requirement for limiting the number of roles to keep roles/content manageable
