This Common Capability covers the need for Web interfaces managing portal user accounts, and their access to content or resources. This also includes the need for users to manage their own personal information and view information of other users, if authorised.

 

 

The User Management Common Capability allows a user to:

• manage his/her portal account and personalise their access to content / resources
• manage his/her personal information
• view personal information of other users (this functionality has to be available only for authorised users)

 

Motivation and foreseen Business Value

The motivation for this Common Capability comes directly from the Business Need for User Management, to make it simple and efficient to manage an enterprise’s portal user accounts.

The implementation of this Common Capability in a portal solution will make it efficient (faster) and effective (simple and robust) for the administrators to manage the user’s portal accounts. It will also allow user access to specific services and data according to assigned access rights, offering in conjunction with the Security Common Capability higher levels of system security.

Relationship to other Common Capabilities

Most of the other Common Capabilities for Portals rely on this one. The ability to distinguish different users and set specific access rights for each one of them is of high importance for the Accounting, Data Management, JSMC, and even Security Common Capabilities, in order for these Common Capabilities to cover the needs that arise in a business environment
