Public Vs Private Page

[Kamesh Sampath，修改在12 年前。]

Can any one tell me some detailed differences between public and private pages ?

I am kind of very keen to know what is the advantage of user's public page and private page ?

when to use them ?

Any best practices around them ?

Power users and admins get public and private pages.

Public pages can be viewed by any user (more or less).

Private pages can only be viewed by the user themselves (administrators would be an exception).

The purpose is to allow users to create and maintain their own portal pages. For an intranet site, it allows the user to establish an environment that works for them (adding and/or removing portlets that they use).

You would use public/private pages when users can benefit from customizing their own environment, giving them control over customizing their own interaction w/ the portal.

Best practices cannot really be defined, because it really allows users to personalize their environment for what works best for them.

Thanks David.

Couple of more questions,

I assume that both public/private user pages can be controlled by Site/Page templates ? If yes then whether its possible for the admin to control certain portlets of the user private page to be pre-defined and unremovable ?? When I unremovable user can play around with his/her private page except that he/she can delete the "restricted" portlets by admin.

In public pages the url has http://localhost:9090/web/sitename/pagesname In private pages the url is http://localhost:9090/group/sitename/pagesname

What is the difference between /web and /group in both the public and private url ?
