Setting Widget Permissions

All of Liferay’s widgets support Liferay’s robust, fine-grained permissions system. Some higher level permissions can be configured in the permissions tab of the widget’s configuration dialog box.

  1. Go to the widget’s Options icon (Options) and select Permissions. This shows you a table of roles.

  2. Use the check boxes to grant certain permissions to different roles. Click Save after you’ve made your selections.

note

Some widgets have permissions specific to them. For example, Message Boards contains a Ban User permission. This makes no sense in the context of most other widgets. Those permissions are covered with those widgets.

Here is a list of the available general permissions:

Permission Description
Add Display Template Add a display template to the widget.
Permissions View and modify the widget’s permissions.
Preferences View and modify the widget’s preferences.
Configuration Access the widget’s configuration menu.
View View the widget.
Add to Page Add a widget to a page.

The permissions matrix makes configuration for a widget convenient.
