The Portal Role is created by the Portal Administrator by using the Manage Roles feature in the Lawson Portal. The Portal Administrator can create any number of different roles to control the Portal experience for an individual or group of Portal users. Often Employee Self Service users are not a Lawson back office users and only need access to the Employee Self Service center. The Employee Self Service user may be assigned a Portal Role which takes away the default access (such as the Search Box) that every user receives. The Portal Administrator can also enforce a lock on the Employee Self Service bookmark and subscription which forces the bookmark for all users who are assigned the Portal Role. This is beneficial, because users do not need to subscribe to the bookmark themselves since it will automatically be available via the Portal Role. The Portal Role is assigned on the Resource Manager User Record in Edit RM Information. Click the Next page button to continue.
