User permissions are configured once the portlet is installed onto a page. You don't have to specifically code for that in your portlet project.

Hi Uri,
Unckeck the view permission for the User Role from the Configuration window of the portlet in the browser.
Moreover, set layout.show.portlet.access.denied=false Into portal-ext.properties file.
This will not show the portlet for users not having view permission on the page.

Thanks,
Ronak

It depends on what you mean

if you dont want users to see a portlet that is already on a page then what Ronak Patel is saying is correct

However if you want certain users not to be able to add a specific portlet to his or her pages, you will have to go to control panel > plugins configuration, find your portlet and assign the add to page permission only to users in a specific role. So you remove that permission from the user and power user role
