Self service portal - what records can a contact change?

[jacekskowron]

Hello

Could anyone explain me how the Portal for contacts works?

So far I know that afer creation a portal user by admin and giving some contacts portal name and password I would be able to connect to sugarCRM database via SOAP.

The thing I don't know is what records would be a person logged as a portal user able to change?
Is it only contact details ? Or anything more?

I would be intrested for example in editing acoount connected with this contact.

Thanks in advice for replying.
I forgot to mentione that I am talking about sugarCRM 4.5.1h open source version.
