Manage a persona

Define persona and associate it with a landing page.

If a persona is associated with a resource, the corresponding landing page opens when the resource logs in to the system. You can also modify and delete a persona. You must have appropriate permissions to view, create and modify personas. See Access control list.

To manage a persona, navigate to Resources > Personas. The Personas page appears.
