			Portal visibility follows instance access: if a user is allowed to join an instance, they are generally able to see a portal to it. To restrict who can use a portal, the instance type itself is used (for example, a portal dropped to a Friends instance is not shown to non-friends).

	The portal will then appear to others, displaying the world name, the user who dropped the portal, region, instance number, instance type, the group hosting the instance (if applicable), instance capacity, platform compatibility, as well as a timer.
