4. Users Use the Portal Help Desk Page.
How do users get access to the portal?
They have to belong to one of the identified LDAP groups driven by Mainestreet data. These flow into portal User Groups.
What information do we get from LDAP?
Username, First and Last name, address, campus and other groups from Mainestreet. The portal username is the same as the Mainestreet username. However, the numerical portal User ID is not the same as the PeopleSoft EMPLID.
How does an Administrator view User account details?
Use the Portal Help Desk Page.
Users with Power User role (based on Mainestreet FERPA data) get a personal community (web space).
