Issue
- We have a requirement to create a Liferay form having a document upload feature for guest users. Currently, in Liferay 7.1 uploading documents is not available for guest users.
Resolution
-
The file upload feature for guest users in Liferay Forms has been implemented in Liferay DXP 7.3 Fix Pack 1 and Liferay DXP 7.4 only. Previous versions, unfortunately, don't have this capability, and it is not something that can be achieved with a workaround, only through customizing Liferay. This article also confirms this information:
Guest User can't upload files in Forms
There were discussions in the past about backporting this functionality but there were a lot of concerns and considerations around this feature's design which led to the decision not to backport it to the older versions because it is not a safe modification.
