Setting up the Oracle9iAS Portal environment is a collaborative process between many different users: the DBA, the portal administrator, page group administrators, and so on. The DBA can complete any task within Oracle9iAS Portal, but he or she may delegate certain responsibilities to the portal administrator. Likewise, although the portal administrator can complete any task on any page group, the page group administrator will most likely be responsible for setting up and maintaining a given page group.

If you are the DBA, you must:

	Read the Oracle9iAS Portal Configuration Guide, available on Portal Center, to find out about the post-installation that you may need to perform.
	Set up the Portal DB provider development environment so users can develop Portal DB providers.	How?

	Create at least one page group	How?
	Assign a page group administrator to each page group	How?
	Create users	How?
	Optionally, create groups and assign users to them	How?
