uPortal Roles
The deployment of uPortal requires several functional roles of responsibility. As is the case of many project one person may assume one of more of the following roles:
 |
uPortal Administrator | The uPortal Administrator is responsible for managing the hardware, making decisions regarding capacity planning, performance monitoring, backing up the system, and initially installing uPortal and dependant software. |
|
|
uPortal Implementor | The uPortal Implementor may be responsible for taking a uPortal release and implementing it as a production system. The implementor may perform such tasks as integrating the authentication/authorization mechanism, designing the look and feel, managing the channel categories and default layouts, and be responsible for publishing the channels. |
|
|
uPortal Developer | The content developer may be responsible for creating the content which will be rendered as channels. That content may be as simple as a static html page or as complex as a large web application. |
| |
uPortal Subscriber | The uPortal subscriber is the end user that uses the portal. The subscriber can customize their view of the portal by adding tabs, subscribing to channels, and selecting a different "skin". |
