# Enabling Portals

The [Portal Editor](/en/lr/555510/) is available in all PromoMats/Medical Vaults with the Portal feature enabled.

## About the Portal Document Fields

The _Portal_ (portal\_\_v) and _Portal Widget_ (portal\_widget\_\_v) shared document fields are required on all document types available for use with your Portal.

If these fields are not already configured in your Vault, navigate to **Admin > Configuration > Document Fields** and set each field to _Active_. Next, [assign the shared fields](/en/lr/4884/#use-shared-field) to all applicable document types.

## Assigning User Permissions

You can grant users access to Portals in two ways:

### Portal Users

You can set users as Portal-only users when they only require access to your Portal and do not need additional Vault access or in-depth Vault training. These users only see Portals and have no other access to or permissions in Vault. To set a user as a Portal-only user:

  1. From **Business Admin > Objects**, navigate to that user's _User_ object record and click **Edit**.
  2. Under _Details_, select **Portal Experience User** in the **Security Profile** field.
  3. Click **Save**.

### PromoMats & MedComms Users

To grant PromoMats and MedComms users access to Portals, you must assign them a security profile with the following permissions:

  * _Object: Portal: Read_
  * _Object: Portal Widget: Read_
  * _Tab: Portal: Read_
