My community and power user

[Chinni Giri, geändert vor 15 Jahren.]

Hi,

I am new to liferay. I have test user created and he is able to see "My communties". I don't know what changed. But now when I create test user using anonymous user creating himself as well as administrator creating test user, I don't see new users seeing "my communites" after logging in . Do you know what could be reason for new users not able to see "My communities" ?


In Websphere Portal, users are of two types, "authenticated", and "anonymous". In Liferay, it looks like there are 3 types of users, one is "guest", and second one is "user" and third one is "power user'. I am assuming "user" in liferay is same as "authenticated user" in portal and "guest" is same as "anonymous" user.


What is meant by power user? I tried reading couple of forum threads, but still I am lost in understanding power user.

I appreciate for your comments or any useful links to understand power user and what are "my communities".


Thanks,
Chinni

Hi

Can I delete the Power User Role? What will happen if it's removed? I know any User registered gets the Power User role only by default but if I actually unassign that user as Power User, the Regular Role left is "User" . I do know Power User gets its own My Community, Public pages, private pages but what if I don't really need it and just wants the User.

Thanks!

Hi,

Most of the answer for questions around "Power User" role can be found in portal.properties.

1) Power User role should not be removed.

# The standard system roles are: Administrator, Guest, Power User, and User.
    # These roles cannot be removed or renamed.
    #
    system.roles=

2) Power User role required/not for private pages can be specified by below property

#
    # Set this to true if users must have the Power User role to have private
    # pages.
    #
    layout.user.private.layouts.power.user.required=false

3) Default user role on creation.

#
    # Input a list of default role names separated by \n characters that are
    # associated with newly created users.
    #
    admin.default.role.names=Power User\nUser

You should override all the properties in portal-ext.properties file.
