Description
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
Publish a Managed Software Delivery policy to take advantage of
its ability to respond to complex delivery requirements.

Portal"
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.
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.

Typically, users do not have access to the Symantec Management Console and
do not have Notification Server security roles.
