portlet access control by user role

New Member Beiträge: 5 Beitrittsdatum: 13.12.11 Neueste Beiträge
Hi:

I would like to grant access to a portlet ("add to page" and "view") based on few custom roles only, which are imported from LDAP.
I have defined the roles in portlet.xml and liferay-portlet.xml of the portlet.

However, it looks like any user can view the portlet. What is the correct way to enforce it?

I have tried adding the permission file (resource-actions\....xml). I can restrict guests from viewing the portlet this way. But, it looks like "resource-action-mapping" DTD does not support custom roles.

Is there a way to enfore role based access control without using the built-in Permissions GUI?

Thanks.

Sure...

Drop the portlet on the page, go to the configuration page for the portlet, to the permissions tab, and set the permissions there. Disable guest perms on the portlet, and you should be golden...

Hi:

Can I configure it from any configuration file other than the "Permissions" tab?

Thanks

Hi HTH,

I believe, resource-action-mapping takes some pre-defined roles only (guest, community etc.). I ended up writing a filter to checks user's role, and show appropriate message if user is not authorized.

My use case is slightly different. Users are accessing some pre-configured pages with bunch of portlets, and they can view portlets that they are entitled to. (users' entitlement can change dynamically)

Thanks
