Portal Model

Portal determines which entrypoint and audience context the request belongs to.

Portals

Portal	Typical audience
PUBLIC	unauthenticated entry flows
CONSUMER	end users
PARTNER	partner operators
TENANT	tenant operators
SYSTEM	platform operators

What Portal Changes

Portal can affect:

1. which host or entrypoint is valid
2. which routes are available
3. which JWT session can call which endpoint
4. which admin and self responsibilities exist

Important Constraint

In the WEB chain, portal is not just a label in the docs. It is part of the gateway context. A valid token can still be rejected if the request enters from the wrong portal context.

Common 403 Causes

1. portal access code is missing from the entrypoint context
2. token portal type and entry portal type do not match
3. the endpoint is restricted to another portal
