I need to configure the "Manage Users and Groups" portlet(Websphere Portal -> Access -> Users and Groups) to add some additional functionalities. I have found that the portlet's war file is "ManagePrincipals.war". I need to add an additional functio
n "Transfer" like the existing view membership, Duplicate group assignments, Edit, Remove etc. Which file to edit and make the changes?

You should create your own portlet to do this, and use the PUMA SPI, <br />

Thanks Jim. But if I create another new portlet how shall I use the functionalites of the exisiting portlet "Manage Users and Groups"?( Because I need to just combine the two existing functionalities )

well it is not supported to modify this portlet. it would be a maintainence nightmare for you to try to integrate your changes into this portlet with every upgrade. It would be best to just create your own portlet and mimic what the other does.<br />

Ok Jim. Thanks for the reply.<br />
<br />
But when I tried to learn the functionality of the existing portlet of "Manage users and groups", I am not able to find 2 things<br />
<br />
1. The database connectivity part<br />
2. The HTML code.<br />
<br />
There are some jsps, but they seem to contain only jsp code. They have used many custom tags. But I am unable to understand from where the html tags are appearing in the page.

Of course, this is internal code and is not going to be made available.<br />
<br />
You have two choices, use the PUMA SPI to create your own portlet, to do all of your user searching and management, or create a second portlet to go along with the user management portlet. it is not permitted for you to update the existing one, and the
code is not going to be released. If you want to make your own though, you can use the PUMA SPI to develop one<br />
