Issue

  • The project has been switched over from a SaaS to a PaaS environment. My previous permissions in the cloud console are restored, but my permissions in the portal are missing.

Environment

  • Liferay PaaS

Resolution

  • Liferay Cloud does not automatically set permissions/roles for individual users in the portal in this scenario. Permissions within the portal on a PaaS environment will need to be configured on that specific site or instance by a user in that site with an Administrator role.
