 Web portal
 ==========
 
-.. toctree::
-   :maxdepth: 2
+**Web-portal of OPNFV Testapi**:
+
+This project aims to provide the web interface for the Testapi framework. It uses the Restful APIs
+of the testapi framework to provide front-end functionalities.
+
+If you are interested in how TestAPI looks like, please visit OPNFV's official `TestAPI Server`__
+
+.. __: http://testresults.opnfv.org/test
+
+Pre-requsites
+=============
+
+In the web portal, we are using AngularJS(1.3.15) as the frontend framework with Bootstrap(v3) CSS.
+
+Running locally
+===============
+
+Installation
+^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Web portal will be installed with the testapi framework. No extra installation.
+
+.. code-block:: shell
+
+    python setup.py install
+
+Start Server
+^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+.. code-block:: shell
+
+    *opnfv-testapi [--config-file <config.ini>]*
+
+If --config-file is provided, the specified configuration file will be employed
+when starting the server, or else /etc/opnfv_testapi/config.ini will be utilized
+by default.
+
+After executing the command successfully, a TestAPI server will be started on
+port 8000, to visit web portal, please access http://hostname:8000
+
+Test
+===============
+
+There are few external requirements for the testing.
+They are
+
+1. npm : node package manager
+    you can get the installation package for nodejs from the official `website`__
+
+    .. __: https://nodejs.org/en/
+
+2. grunt cli : Automation tool
+
+.. code-block:: shell
+
+    npm install -g grunt-cli
+
+After installing global dependencies, you have to install the required local node modules.
+
+.. code-block:: shell
+
+    npm install
+
+**Running tests**
+
+.. code-block:: shell
+
+    grunt e2e
+
+Authentication
+==============
+
+The web portal is using Linux identity server as the Central Authentication Service. The following
+diagram will explain the authentication process.
+
+.. image:: /images/CAS-sequence.jpg
+ :width: 600
+ :alt: Workflow of the Athentication
+
+When a new user initially logs into an application they won't have established a
+session with the application. Instead of displaying a login form asking for the username and
+password, the application (via the CAS Client) will redirect the browser to the linux foundation
+login page. Linux foundation identity server then authenticates the user. If the authentication
+fails, the Linux foundation login page is displayed again with an error message. So until
+authentication succeeds, the user will not be returned to the application.
+
+Authorization
+=============
+
+TestAPI has 3 level authorization layer. They are
+
+**Public**
+
+The public can view the resources(pod, project, testcase, result, deploy result, scenario).
+They do not have the access to create, delete or modify the resources.
+
+**User - Contributors**
+
+Contributors level user can view all the resources(pod, project, testcase, result, deploy result,
+scenario). They can create/delete/modify pod and scenario.
+
+They do not have the access to create project or testcase.
+
+**User - Submitter**
+
+Submitter level user can view all the resources(pod, project, testcase, result, deploy result,
+scenario). They can create/delete/modify pod and scenario.
+
+If user want to create/modify/delete a project or testcase then user has to be in the Submitter
+group for that specific project.
+
+Currently, we can't create/modify/delete results or deploy results from the web portal.
