Table 13-1
Process for implementing the
Software Portal
(continued)
Description
Action
Step
Before a user can request software from the Software Portal, you
must define the software that the user can request. Perform this step
whenever you add users or software resources to Notification Server.
Examples are as follows:
■
When the finance department hires a new employee, you add that
employee to the software resources that the members of the finance
department require.
■
When an administrator adds a new software resource to the
Software Catalog, they add the users who are allowed to request
that software.
You can define software in the
Software Portal
in the following ways:
■
Publish a software resource to perform a quick delivery of a single
software resource with a minimum of configuration.
See
“Adding a software resource to the Software Portal”
on page 177.
■
Publish a Managed Software Delivery policy to take advantage of
its ability to respond to complex delivery requirements.
See
“Adding a Managed Software Delivery policy to the Software
Portal”
on page 179.
Define the software that
appears in the Software
Portal.
Step 4
Anyone who uses the Software Portal on a client computer must
configure their user profile before they can create and process
requests.
For more information, see the topics on setting up the Software Portal
and the user profile in the Software Portal Help.
Instruct the users and
managers to configure their
profiles.
Step 5
Recommended security settings for the Software
Portal
As part of the Software Portal implementation, you configure security privileges
for the administrators and managers who need to use the Software Portal. The
security privileges let specific user roles manage and approve the users’ software
requests.
See
“Implementing the Software Portal”
on page 173.
See
“About Software Portal user roles”
on page 162.
Typically, users do not have access to the Symantec Management Console and
do not have Notification Server security roles.
