I am referring to the CMSAdminPortletInstance in *-object.xml file as below <if-exists>overwrite</if-exists> <parent-ref>CMSAdminPortal</parent-ref> <page-name>CMS</page-name> .. <window-name>CMSPortletWindow</window-name> <instance-ref>CMSAdminPortletInstance</instance-ref> .. I always get Access Denied even though the security for CMSAdminPortletInstance is UnChecked (verified under PortletInstances tab). However it works fine when I log in as Admin. My requirement is to define a new role and assign a user to that role, for example "CMS Adminsitrators" . I want that user to manage the CMS content only and nothing else. Please guide me on this.
