Brief overview & high level context of business requirements

• The International web portal development should take into consideration the growing need for "Third party" access to CT2
• Third Party access refers to customers, shippers, suppliers, agents, truckers etc. to whom partial access of CT2 data (creating records, adding/updating specific fields) is granted.
• Each third party user type is then given some specific functionality (example of possible functionalities are listed in this article for International portal users).

• For an example of a third party user type would be customer who could create a record to book a shipment...rather than sending a request information to JFS for data entry by JFS staff.

Business Requirement

JFS would like to have an International Web portal that can be easily configurable and flexible to suit all the third party users (client companies). There are many different type of users, so each of users can be specific in term of configuration. In order to suit the specific needs of users, we should provide a system that can be easily configuring through admin module to manage each type of users such as functionality, visibility, ability, etc.

Users should be able to manage their own UI setting for their view
