Issue

  • If I create a site role with only the view permission for Documents and Media, the user assigned to it still can access not only the view but all the other options.

Environment

  • Liferay DXP 7.0 

Resolution

  • When you create a user, he/she will be a site member in order to access the site. The site members have rights to add documents, folders and some more permissions.
  • Change the permissions of the created site role in the portlet itself: 
    1. Go to Content > Documents and Media
    2. Click on the 3 dots in the upper right corner
    3. Select Permissions
    4. Check the Site Member role and uncheck all the permission except what you like to grant to the user
