Privileges and responsibilities
The Software Portal manager approves users software requests in the Software Portal.
The manager can be any employee in your organization who has the authority to allow
users to acquire software. Typically, a department manager fills this role.
Because the Software Portal is installed on the client computer, the manager can approve
requests without access to the Symantec Management Console.
The Software Portal manager requires Software Portal privileges to manage and approve
software requests.
The user on a client computer submits requests for software on the Home page in the
Software Portal. The user can be any employee in the organization who needs software.
Because the Software Portal is installed on the client computer, the user can create requests
without access to the Symantec Management Console.
Typically, users do not have access to the Symantec Management Console and do not
have Notification Server security roles.
See
"About the approval of software requests"
An administrator adds software to the Software Portal and configures the settings
and the permissions that let users request the software. The terms that describe
these settings and permissions appear on the Software Portal pages where the
software is displayed.
