Overview of the "User Self Service" Application

Portlets

The User Self-Service application consists of two portlets: "Welcome" and "Log In."

Depending on which features you want to make available to portal users, you must configure these for the "Anonymous" user or as the default.

You can find detailed information on this in the sections that describe how to set up the respective features.

Administrator

There are no specific roles or permissions for the "User Self Service" application in the Intrexx Portal Manager.

As an administrator, you have access to the application and its pages.

User Management

The "User Self Service" application allows you to manage portal users (to a limited extent) without using the Intrexx Portal Manager. As a portal user with administrative privileges, you can, among other things, suspend and delete portal users. The "User Self Service" application works together with it from a technical standpoint. For example, the data that a portal user enters during self-registration is automatically stored in the Intrexx user management system. Some information—such as whether a (future) portal user still needs to click the confirmation link in the registration email—is stored only in the "User Self Service" application.

Email Service

When portal users request a new password or register, they receive the corresponding emails. At the same time, you must enter at least one email address on the "Administration" page to which notification emails regarding registration processes, deletion requests, etc., will be sent.

To ensure that the necessary emails can be sent via Intrexx, you must set up the email service in Intrexx.

For detailed information on this, see the " Email Service" section.
