Issue
-
In the earlier versions or updates of Liferay, the Control Panel Menu was hidden for specific users, and in order to achieve this, custom themes were being used. Hence a new feature is introduced directly in the UI wherein the control panel menu can be viewed by the users according to the roles selected.
Environment
-
Liferay DXP 7.4 (update 87 and below)
Resolution
- Activating the "Show Control Menu by role" option and selecting the roles that can see the Control Menu will overwrite the default roles.
- Below are the steps to enable the option:
- Navigate to Site > Site Settings > Site Configuration >Menu Access
- Activate the "Show Control Menu by Role" option and save.
- Now select the roles that should be able to see the control menu and save it.
-
The observed behavior is a new feature that has been addressed via LPS-176136 and is included in Liferay DXP 7.4 update 88 onwards.
