Issue

  • Whenever the Guest and Site Member view permissions of the Web Content are removed, user is still able to see the web content added in the Web content Display Portlet.

Environment

  • Liferay DXP 7.0

    1. Go to Control Panel>>Configuration>>System Settings.
    2. Go to Web Experience Tab and then Web Content.
    3. Check the Article view permissions check enabled.
