Managing global settings
Define the settings for your portal server. These settings include the default portal language, the first page displayed when a user logs in, the option to set a URL for the Find feature, and what will be displayed when a user is not authorized to view a portlet.
When you have completed your option selection, click Save. To restore to the previous selection of options, click Reset.
