Do I need an Acquia DAM (Widen) account to view portals?

No. If portals set to "public" are shared with you, you don't need to be a registered DAM user to view them. However, if portals are set to require login, you will not be able to view those unless you have a DAM account, and if the portals shared with you require an access code, the portal creator will supply that and you'll be able to access them.

 

Can I modify how portals display on the dashboard?

No, you can't choose the exact order of portals on the dashboard, but you can search, sort, and filter for portals from that page.

 

When I expire a portal, do assets in the DAM also expire?

No. Only the portal is expired. The asset expiration date in your site does not change.

 

Can I see details, like access codes and emails, in a spreadsheet for portal views?

No.
