Roles and Rights
The configuration of each page within the Employee Portal can be governed by granting users specific roles.
- Collaboration Role
- This role has been updated to include the application right CanManagePage. This right grants the general ability to manage pages. This will be required for Service Domain Owners who will have the ability to create and manage a Service Domain page. In the future, this right will also give any collaboration user the ability create an manage a personal page. Basic Users will not have this ability.
- Home Page Manager
- This Role grants the rights to manage the main Company Home Page. It includes the application rights CanManagePage and canManageCompanyPages
- Domain Owner
- Whilst not strictly a role, a user who is configured to own a Domain, will have the rights to add, edit and remove Domain Pages for Domains they are an owner of, on the Employee Portal.

A user that has the Home Page Manager role or they have been added as the owner of a Service Domain, will have a Cog button available within the header of the page. Clicking on this cog will take the user into the Design Mode for that page. Once in Design Mode the following information is displayed.
