Issue

  • While updating any user details the below error is thrown:
  • WARN  [http-nio-8080-exec-2][SecurityPortletContainerWrapper:348] User 20156 is not allowed to access URL http://localhost:8080/group/control_panel/manage and portlet com_liferay_user_groups_admin_web_portlet_UserGroupsAdminPortlet

Environment

  • Liferay DXP 7.0

Resolution

  • The temporary folder used for storing upload requests is invalid thus making it so that the request parameters are not included. The suggested resolution was to manually set the temp directory to Tomcat's temp folder by going to Server Administration then File Uploads and changing Temporary Storage Directory. When set this to Tomcat bundle's /temp folder using the below setting, the above error is resolved:
    /testing/7010/liferay-dxp-digital-enterprise-7.0-sp6/tomcat-8.0.32/temp

The path needs to be set according to the appropriate path.
