[Using Sakai] Can't add Portfolio site

Hi,
I tried to check these permissions in 
!site.template
!site.user
!user.template
But nothing happens.
I still have no opportunity to add a portfolio site-
I've tried as Administrator, user, registered user.

Regards Igor

Betreff: Re: [Using Sakai] Can't add Portfolio site

Hi Igor,

In Sakai 2.9, new permissions were added to control whether a user can add
project or portfolio sites:

site.add.project
site.add.portfolio

With these new permissions, there are now four permissions that control site
creation in My Workspace:

site.add
site.add.course
site.add.project
site.add.portfolio

So it looks like you haven't been granted the "site.add.portfolio"
permission.

Best,

click the Cancel button, all is well. But if you click on the Save button,
without having made any changes, the announcement switches to Specify Dates
and is available.

was annotating the student comments. He?s concerned that they may say things

accomplish some of his needs by editing the student comments and adding his
own annotations in a different color. The instructor can edit or delete any
student comment.

Since our support staff here has been preoccupied with trying to retrieve

student's first-level page, "first-level" (on these pages they create links
to their weekly entries, so the first-level page acts as the student's table

comments in its entirety. In other words, on the root page where I've
authorized addition of student content, clicking "Edit" opens a window where
I can create Gradebook entries for both student content and comments. This
creates a button to "Show a grading pane" on the root page where students
content was authorized. But if I click through to the first-level and weekly
entry pages, the grading button is no longer present; there is no way to
grade each student's individual comments individually. How can one grade
each comment individually?

How can one add grading for student content that already exists?
> > In preparing #2 above, I went back to the site and tried to replicate
the error message. I checked the box, entered a Maximum points, and hit
return, thinking this would yield the error message that had appeared every
time before. I'm not exactly sure what happened, but the entire section of
student contributions disappeared. This seems to be because the default
button on this window is to delete the entire section of student pages,
which is what apparently happened. To try to fix this, I went back to the
the root page and added another section for student content, but the
original content (including my instructions on how to use the Lessons tool)
did not come back. So how can one recover this lost content?
> > Comment. If my assessment of what happened with #3 is correct, this is
an awful failure of user interface design. In other places Sakai's
hand-holding goes to absurd lengths to prevent accidental mistakes (e.g.
from Resources select Actions > Edit Details > Select URL (for copying), and
every time a window pops up telling the user to remember to press Ctrl-C to
copy the URL, with the user then having to press the OK button and then go
back and hit Ctrl-C; it would be much more efficient to simply put text
above the Details box saying, "Position your cursor in the box, and they
press ctrl-A, followed by ctrl-C"). But here in the lessons tool, where
students could have (and my students actually did) put in weeks of work, the
default action (by pressing "Return") erases everything without any warning!
How often does one delete the entire section of student contributions that
deletion should be the default action? Don't "Update" or "Cancel" make more
sense?
