Introduction.

The MyPortal function is created to be able to have all the functions of a particular employee position in one place and allow the employee himself to modify the organization of the portlets over the portal pages. It is the replacement of the MyPage component which had the same function but was much less configurable by the user and had only two target audiences, employee and customer. MyPortal will have much more, and they will be more easy to configure.

The user is presented with a number of system pages and portlets which can be completely changed by the user itself using the preferences button on the right hand side of the application menu.

The MyPortal component serves currently for 3 groups of users:
1. users not linked to any security group (just registered users via the myportal registration option)
2. users linked to the MYPORTAL_EMPLOYEE security group such as the login DemoEmployee or the user admin (password=ofbiz)
3. users linked to the MYPORTAL_CUSTOMER security group such as the login DemoCustomer (password=ofbiz)

To add any other groups is relatively easy. examples are in the MyPortalTypeData.xml file.
