Permission Options
The permissions area is were you'll decide who gets to see your ePortfolio as it's being created. You are first prompted to make this decision. Simply select the access you feel most comfortable with and move on, unless you've been given specific instructions to share your ePortfolio with a professor or course, in which case you'll want to click on "Custom Permissions." You can adjust your ePortfolio permissions at any time.

Custom Permissions
If you've been instructed by your professor to share your ePortfolio with a specific user, group, or course then this is where you're going to do so. Simply search for the individual or group and they will display in a drop-down where you can click on them and they'll be granted viewing access to the ePortfolio. If you need to change access, you can add specific user, group, or courses or delete them anytime. You also have the option to change their role.
Role
As you share your ePortfolio with a specific user, group, or course you can also choose what level of access to give them. By default, when they are added to the ePortfolio they will be given a Viewer role, however, other levels of access are available by opening the Role drop-down menu in the custom permissions editing window.
- Viewer Access: View ePortfolio
- Editor Access: View ePortfolio, Edit ePortfolio but Changes Only Saved as Draft
- Publisher Access: View ePortfolio, Edit and Publish Changes
- Admin Access: View ePortfolio, Edit and Publish Changes, Edit ePortfolio Settings (including permissions)
