Issue

  • After upgrading from 6.2 to 7.2 version, when we try to modify the permissions of a widget used on a page, we don't have this option available (as we had in 6.2).

  • This problem happens only for Content Pages. For Widget Pages you can still modify widget permissions.

Environment

  • Liferay DXP 7.0, 7.1, 7.0.

Resolution

  • This is the expected behavior.
  • For Content Pages you cannot modify widget permissions. This functionality is not available in 7.2 and lower versions.
  • In 7.3, this feature was included as part of a group of improvements for Content Pages.
