Mastering Data Modeling with Liferay Objects

Course Overview

Security and Managing Object Access - Introduction

Securing and managing access to your data is crucial, particularly when multiple users, roles, and business accounts interact with the same data platform. Liferay DXP is built with a "secure by default" philosophy, which means every new installation is equipped with essential security configurations. However, further tuning can provide tailored security controls to match your specific requirements.

In this module, you’ll explore the main tools and practices Liferay provides for managing object access and securing sensitive data. Liferay’s permission framework enables you to define both application and resource-specific permissions at granular levels, enabling control over access to each object and entry. Additionally, when account-restricted objects are in use, you can limit object entry access based on business accounts, ensuring users only see data belonging to their account.

Another critical aspect is the integration with Liferay’s audit framework, which records and provides a history of actions taken on objects and their entries. By enabling entry history on objects, administrators gain insight into modifications, deletions, and other significant interactions, ensuring transparency and security.

By the end of this module, you’ll have the skills and knowledge to

  • Configure object permissions at the application, definition, and entry levels.

  • Establish account restrictions to segment data access among different users.

  • Implement structured access to data with organizational roles.

  • Audit critical system activities related to object definitions and entries.

Understanding these frameworks enables you to securely manage your object data, contributing to a robust and compliant application structure. First, you’ll explore the different levels of object permissions available in Liferay.
