Setting Widget Permissions
All of Liferay’s widgets support Liferay’s robust, fine-grained permissions system. Some higher level permissions can be configured in the permissions tab of the widget’s configuration dialog box.
-
Go to the widget’s Options icon () and select Permissions. This shows you a table of roles.
-
Use the check boxes to grant certain permissions to different roles. Click Save after you’ve made your selections.
Some widgets have permissions specific to them. For example, Message Boards contains a Ban User permission. This makes no sense in the context of most other widgets. Those permissions are covered with those widgets.
Here is a list of the available general permissions:
Permission | Description |
---|---|
Add Display Template | Add a display template to the widget. |
Permissions | View and modify the widget’s permissions. |
Preferences | View and modify the widget’s preferences. |
Configuration | Access the widget’s configuration menu. |
View | View the widget. |
Add to Page | Add a widget to a page. |
