Portal Management
On the right side of the Infoport header we can see a Dropdown menu called Portal Administration (Only logged in user with Portal Administrator permission).
User Management
A user with portal administrator rights can view the list of users of the entire portal, where he can change the user's password, set basic permissions to the portal (to the repository, the publishing module or set him as an administrator).
Infoport has its own user repository that is independent of the Enterprise Architect repository. In practice, this means that portal users (unlike in previous versions) do not need to have an account in the EA repository at the same time. However, the account can be linked in the portal and in EA for proper display of edit locks and so on. The user list is filterable, searchable and optimized for a large number (thousands) of users.
Users are recorded at the level of the entire portal, not at the level of individual repositories. This is so that if a user has access to multiple repositories, they can quickly switch between them.
Users are then assigned access to individual repositories. It also ensures that the administrators of each repository do not see a list of all users - so that, for example, the repository administrator of one vendor does not see the users of another vendor.

Repositories Management
Multiple repositories (databases) can be connected to one instance of the information portal. Therefore, the management of the portal and the management of the individual connected EA repositories is separate. One user can have access to multiple repositories and different rights in each of them. It is easy to switch between repositories.
Each connected EA repository has its own administrators.
Users are registered at the portal level, and rights to repositories are assigned by the portal administrator. EA Repositories are strictly data segregated, and if a user does not have rights to a particular EA Repository, he or she cannot see it (cannot see that it exists).
This functionality is useful, for example, if a company has multiple customers. Who have data in separate EA repositories and need to present it using a single portal instance.
After clicking on "edit" the following page will be displayed Edit repository
Active Directory Management
Enterprise Architect can be connected to one or more Active Directory servers.
AD automatically imports groups from AD into the Infoportal. The import is done by AD group, where the administrator must define which AD group he wants to import into which Infoport group.
NTLM authentication - if the user is registered in Active Directory and Active Directory is configured, the user does not have to log in to Infoport manually - he is logged in automatically with his windows account. However, he can still log in manually (useful, for example, if another user needs to log in to the InfoPortal on the computer with the logged-in user.
If the user is not found in Active Directory and Infoport has multiple Active Directory servers configured, they are all searched in turn. If the user is not found anywhere, a login dialog is displayed where the user can log in manually (or just as a guest).
After clicking the "Create" button, the page to create the AD will be displayed. Where you need to fill in the "Name, URL, Username and Password".
Configuration Manager
See the Configuration Manager section in the Installation Manual
Statistics
If the user has a key, he can start Statistics without being logged in.
Stats shows information about connected repositories and dcoms.
Overview of notification subscriptions
The administrator must set up an e-mail server in Configuration Manager to send notification e-mails to users.

The portal administrator can click on the "Tree" icon or the "ChangeNotificationType" button.
After clicking on the "ChangeNotificationType" button, the portal administrator is redirected to the "Setting the notification interval for diagram subscribers" page where he can check the Name, Type, Login and Email to which the notification is sent.
There are three notification services that notify users of changes to the diagram.
By hovering the cursor over the icons, the user can read what type of notification it is.
You can easily change the notification type either on this page, where you just click the blue icon, or go to the diagram on the repository.
The green colour of the icon informs which notification type is on.
If the user wants to cancel the notification, just click the red icon.
When the user clicks on the "Tree" icon, he is redirected to the repository of the diagram.
