Users' interaction with dashboards and views is determined by the
permissions set by the
WebSphere® Portal roles.
Roles provide different permissions for the ways users can interact with the
dashboards and views.

on the Order Processing dashboard. You will also assign him Privileged

- Click Access, and then Resource
Permissions. The Select resource type page
opens.

Processing page, and then click the Assign access icon
.
- On the Resource Permission page, click the Edit
Role icon
that corresponds to the User role column.
- Click Add to add a member to this role.
- Use the search capabilities to select the required user. Select User.
From the Search by list, select ibm-primaryEmail.
You will search forjadams@abc.org.
- Select the correct result, and then click OK.
An information message confirms the addition of the user to the role.
- To assign a Privileged User role to John Adams, on the My Alerts
portlet, click Portlets on the Select resource
type page. Browse to My Alerts portlet, and then click
the Assign access icon
.
