# User Portal

The User Portal offers explanations and details on how to work with the {{variable.PlatformName}}. The primary focus of the information in the User Portal is on the Tenant, Environment, and Workspaces. This includes what you will find in each Workspace, how to create and manage each of the objects that go into building and working with Authorization Policies, and how to build and manage your Authorization Policies from one centralized location - the {{variable.PlatformName}}.
