Prepare the portal

Admin configures the foundation: BrandThemes (color palette, logo, typography defaults — one per customer brand or per delivery-team brand), EmailTemplates (per-event branded templates for invitation, document notification, approval request, decision callback, status update, comment notification, weekly digest, and inactive-user reminder), and the PortalSites master (one row per Account tenant — PortalCode, Account, BrandTheme, SubdomainSlug, optional CustomDomain, OAuthProvider if SSO, MagicLinkEnabled, DefaultEmailTemplate, Owner Portal Manager). Brand changes that affect a live PortalSite flow through the MDM approval workflow with Admin sign-off; email templates preview-render against a fixture row before publish.

Effect

Expose the project

Portal Manager picks which internal Projects (read from Project Management) to expose on each PortalSite via the PortalProjects line items: snapshots the ProjectName, sets DisplayOrder, marks Status: Active. A Project hidden mid-engagement flips to Status: Hidden rather than being deleted, so historical DocumentShares, ApprovalRequests, and ClientActivities keep their referential anchor for audit.

Portal Manager

Effect
Publish the permitted project context

Invite and grant access

Portal Manager creates a ClientUsers row (FullName, Email, PortalSite, Account, ClientRole: Approver / Collaborator / Viewer) and grants per-project access via PortalUserAccess rows (one per PortalProject with AccessLevel: View / Comment / Approve). Inviting the client provisions the OAuth / SSO entry when PortalSite.OAuthProvider is set, generates a MagicLinks row with Purpose: InviteSetup and ExpiresAt: now + 7 days, and the notification service delivers the branded invitation using the PortalSite's themed EmailTemplates row. The client clicks the link, completes setup (password or SSO bind), and the magic-link auth handler flips ClientUsers.Status: Invited → Active and stamps ActivatedAt.

Agent support

Proto cannot impersonate a client, decide a request on their behalf, disclose private source files or claim a callback succeeded without its receipt. Branding does not establish identity, authorization or regulatory certification.
