Objects Application Permissions
Available Liferay DXP/Portal 7.4+
Like other Liferay applications, the Objects portlet is integrated with the permissions framework. This means you can assign application and resource permissions to user roles to determine which users have access to the Objects portlet and its data.
See Defining Role Permissions for more information about assigning permissions to user roles.
