[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (JBPORTAL-1740) cms admin portlet checks for hardcoded role named 'admin'

Why does the security console need to have separate access rights? Aren't the access rights for the CMS admin console enough?

cms admin portlet checks for hardcoded role named 'admin' --------------------------------------------------------- Key: JBPORTAL-1740 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBPORTAL-1740 Project: JBoss Portal Issue Type: Bug Security Level: Public(Everyone can see) Components: Portal CMS Affects Versions: 2.6.2 Final Reporter: Tobias Roth Assigned To: Sohil Shah See also http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBPORTAL-1646 I found another hardcoded use of 'admin'. The effect of having this is that even with the change I described above, permissions of cms nodes cannot be changed by users that are not in role called 'admin'. Why does the security console need to have separate access rights? Aren't the access rights for the CMS admin console enough? In core-cms/src/main/org/jboss/portal/core/cms/ui/admin/CMSAdminPortlet.java: private boolean isSecurityConsoleAccessible(PortletRequest portletRequest) { try { boolean isAccessible = false; if (portletRequest.getUserPrincipal() != null) { User user = this.userModule.findUserByUserName(portletRequest.getUserPrincipal().getName()); Set roles = this.membershipModule.getRoles(user); if (roles != null) { for (Iterator itr = roles.iterator(); itr.hasNext();) { Role role = (Role)itr.next(); if (role.getName().equalsIgnoreCase("admin")) { isAccessible = true; break; } } } } return isAccessible; } catch (Exception e) { return false; } }
