[Vtigercrm-developers] Interested? Multiple Portals with different permissions

[nilay khatri]

Hi Prasad,

Yes that's the idea with un-marrying portal config from contacts.

In vtiger 7 portal does not use SOAP.

I am more inclined towards implementing Open Source solution and making
this a part of official Vtiger Open Source.
