# Portal Access and Editing Permissions

To restrict access and edit permissions to a portal or Express Portal to only specific users, to user with a given permission, or to users with a given role:

1. Go to **Database** → **Portals.**
2. Select a portal, or [create a new one](/v1/docs/creating-a-custom-portal).
3. Select **Edit Permissions.**

6. Select **Save.**

Portals are only accessible in **Database → Portals** with the [Portal Editor permission](/v1/docs/system-permissions#portal-editor). Users to whom you’ve granted access to a given portal with **Edit Portal** require a direct editor link—that is, the link to the portal’s overview page. To open the portal itself, use the link shown in the portal's **URL** field. The portal's configured security requirements still apply.
