Once you have selected who to share your e-Portfolio, they have edit rights. You can also set up a specific time frame the how long the user has access to your e-Portfolio.

Step 9 - Under the "Advanced options" title, you have four options to select. They are:

  • Allow comments - this allows users to leave comments on portfolio
  • Moderate comments - this keeps the comments private until you approve them
  • Allow copying - this allows anyone who can see your portfolio pages/collections to be able to copy them along with any files or folders used in those pages/collections
  • Overriding start/stop dates - You can enter a start and stop date/time so other people will only be able to see you pages/collections during that time frame regardless of any other access you have grant

Step 10 - Click "Save" when you have completed making changes.

 

Outcome

Users should be able to give edit access to someone on their ePortfolio page/collection.
