A portal system identifies a language in which content can be displayed to the user. Possible languages can be determined from one or more of identity information for the user, a container for the user's directory entry, and the user's location. The determined languages can be ranked, and the highest-ranked available language can be selected for content display to the user.

Method to dynamically determine a user's language for a network

Portal pages and overlays are assigned globally unique identifiers (GUIDs). Users are granted permission to view portal pages and overlays by having their user object in the container hierarchy be associated with the GUIDs. User objects can be directly associated with the GUIDs, or can inherit the GUIDs from a container or group. Once the user object is (directly or indirectly) associated with the GUID assigned to a portal page or overlay, the user can view the portal page or overlay.
