Managing Picklist Permissions
Liferay 7.4+
Picklist is integrated with Liferay’s permissions framework. This means you can assign application and resource permissions to user roles to determine which users have access to the Picklists application and its data.
See Defining Role Permissions for more information about assigning permissions to user roles.
Application Permissions
