Abstract

A site in a portal management framework may have a set of site objects given a single identity. The site may be created in the portal management framework by a console object. The portal management framework may have at least one portal providing a gateway for access to the site. Sets of users granted administrative privileges with respect to a site object may further grant and delegate administrative privileges to other sets of users to perform administration type operations on site objects over which they have administrative privileges. Server consoles may be provided for performing administration on object(s) in the portal management framework. Site consoles may be provided for performing administration on object(s) with respect to each site.
