    • Control user access to components of the GOV.UK Design System Service Portal.

    Control who accesses your portal and what they can see in the following ways:

    • Authentication: Configure login and single sign on for users
    • Limit page access by role: Use roles to limit the users who can see a page.
    • Public pages: Use the public check box on a page record to make the page publicly accessible.
      Note:
      Some portal pages that are installed by default are marked public. Filter your list of Service Portal pages for Public [is] true to identify these pages. Setting the Public value to false will prevent these pages from being publicly available.

    You can see all roles for a page by navigating to All > Service Portal > Pages and using the Roles or [is] Public column to filter.

    For more information on configuring portal access by role, see Managing portal access.
