Issue
- We have a custom module that puts a module in the product menu.
- We have a site role, S1, with permissions assigned to the module:
- Access in Site and Asset Library Administration,
-
View.
- If we log in with:
- an admin user, we can see the category and the module.
- a regular user with a regular role with enough permissions, we can see the category and the module.
- a regular user with site role S1, we cannot see the category nor the module under the product menu.
Resolution
- This custom module has a
PanelApp class. This PanelApp points to a PanelCategory via the OSGi component property "panel.category.key".
- The value of thsi property has to begin with the prefix
"site_administration".
- In this example of the Liferay codebase, the value of
"panel.category.key" is the constantPanelCategoryKeys.SITE_ADMINISTRATION_CONTENT, which is resolved to "site_administration.MyCustomPortlet", fulfilling the prefix requirement.
