# Manage Portal Access by role

# Manage role-based access to pages and widgets in GOV.UK Design System Service Portal {#ariaid-title1}

Release version: Brazil  
Updated June 1, 2026  
![](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/portal-asset/ico-clock) 1 minute to read  
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 AllService PortalPages and using the Roles or \[is\] Public column to filter.

For more information on configuring portal access by role, see [Managing portal access](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=portal-security&version=brazil&pubname=brazil-platform-user-interface&ft:locale=en-US).
