Editing region properties

A region is an area on a page that displays information and can contain either portlets, items, or tabs. You can edit a region to specify all kinds of region properties, such as the width of the region, whether to display a banner at the top of the region, whether to group items in an item region, or how much space to provide around the portlets in a portlet region.

To edit a region, you must have at least one of the following privileges:

• Portal administrator

• Manage All privileges on the page group to which the page belongs

• Manage privileges on the page

• Manage global privileges on All Pages

If you have Full Customization privileges on a page, you can edit regions in your own tabs when you customize the page; you cannot edit regions anywhere else in the page.
