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

[nilay khatri]

@Alan yes, the difference would be that, the portal users get access to
only data which belongs to them or the Organization. But in case if portal
users are granted access to CRM, then it becomes complicated and some times
unachievable to restrict access only to Contact/Organization.

I am talking in terms of using portal not just for customer support but
also, as for partners, resellers, employees, distributors, vendors etc..

@Tony, yes the whole topic here is about the ability to make portal
configurable such that it could be used in various scenarios including
Projects.
