Administering the portal content and resources for virtual portals
When you create a virtual portal by using the Virtual Portal Manager portlet, the portlet also creates default portal content and resources for the virtual portal. This default content is determined by the default XML script file for initializing virtual portals. In general, you can administer portal resources for a virtual portal just like you do for a normal portal installation.
About this task
You must be aware that some resource types are scoped to a particular virtual portal and cannot be accessed from outside of that virtual portal. Such scoped portal resource types are assigned to only that one portal. Sharing of these resource types between virtual portals is not possible. This restriction is imposed by the portal system and provides a secure isolation between virtual portals. You cannot change this behavior.
Other resource types are not scoped. They are shared among all virtual portals of the same installation. If you want to restrict such resource types to particular virtual portals, you can define their visibility by using Portal Access Control. These access restrictions should usually be defined by the master administrator of the portal installation.
