You may select any combination of groups or individual users. Enter users by their unique portal user IDs. When you are finished, click "Update." In this example, we've selected "Everyone" as the group, which is mapped to the uPortal root group in the =portlet.xml= file.
Adding an Announcement
...
Similar to publishing an announcement, to unpublish an announcement, click the red stop sign icon ("Take Down") in order to unpublish the announcement. The announcement is immediately changed to a status of "Pending" and is no longer displayed to users.
Warning | ||
---|---|---|
| ||
An announcement in the pending state will still be automatically deleted once its end date has passed. |
...
If you are a Portal Administrator as defined by the "Portal_Administrators" group in =portlet.xml=, you may delete an entire topic. Doing so will delete all announcements within the topic and the action is not reversible. To delete the entire topic, click the trash can icon ("Delete") in the "Admin Home" screen.
...
You should try to delegate your workload by allow other users to become Topic Admins, Contributors or Editors of a certain topic. You assign them in the same way that you assign Audience Members (see [#Setting_up_Topic_PermissionsTopic Permissions] Announcement+Portlet+Admin+Guide). Additionally, a diminished UI is provided for each type of role. For example, contributors and editors cannot see the "Permissions" section of the Topic management screen. See the chart below for the differences between roles.
| Create Topic | Edit Topic | Delete Topic | Edit Topic Permissions | Add Ann. | Edit Ann. | Delete Ann. | Publish Ann. | Unpublish Ann. |

As the table shows, roles are inherited. That is, no user needs to be a member of anymore than one group. |
