Issue

  • The custom site panel category entries' panel app permissions do not work as intended.

  • We are unable to grant permissions to access the panel app through a "Site role" if the category key does not start with "site_administration."

  • It will only work if we grant the permission with a regular role.

Environment

  • Liferay DXP 7.4

Resolution

  • If you wish to create site level panel app categories, then you should be able to define proper permissions after naming the panel category key so that it starts with "site_administration."
