Issue

  • When staging is enabled, the user with the web content editor role will be unable to add or edit any web content in the staging environment. 

  • Steps to reproduce:

    1. Create a site

    2. On-site configuration enables Manual Membership Management

    3. Created 2-3 web content.

    4. Create 'Site Role' → define permissions → Web content (select everything related to web content only).

    5. Create a new user.

    6. On the product menu People → membership and the new user to the site

    7. Assign user to the previously created role

    8. Login from that user account now he will be able to add or edit web content.

    9. With the admin account: enable local-live publishing with everything selected as default

    Expected Behavior: The editor user still able to edit and add new web content

    Observed Behavior: The user can no longer edit and add new web content

Environment

  • Liferay DXP 7.4 

Resolution

  • When local Staging is enabled, the user with the custom role should go to the Staging part of the site (/group/my-site-staging instead of /group/my-site) to add/edit Web Contents to this site.
     
    Therefore, with this set of permissions, this is not a bug but only the lack of a link for the user to access the Staging part, which can be achieved by creating a new regular role with the permission “View Staging” restricted to the site(s) of interest in Control Panel > Sites > Sites > Site.
     
    Custom-Site-Role> Define Permissions> Configuration> Site Settings> Site> View Staging> Save.
