Creating and Modifying Content with My Content Portlet
The My Content Portlet provides you with a way to manage content directly from
a portal. The My Content Portlet does not provide as much flexibility or power
as the Administration Portal’s content management tools, but it does allow
you to create, rename, update, and delete content and folders.
To get access to the My Content portlet, you need delegated administration
rights on content or rights granted by the cm_homefolders
portlet preference. You must also be logged in to use the portlet. For complete
setup instructions, see "Setting Up
My Content Portlet."
