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