[jboss-dev-forums] [Design of JBoss Portal] - Permission Issue

[dsulliva]

Hi, 

I have several portals configured within my JBoss Portal instance.

If for one of the portals I want to give access to Add/Modify content, but not for the others what can I do.

I was thinking that I could use the Roles and Security Permissions but this doesn't seem to work as I would have expected.

Let's say I have two Portals, Portal1 and Portal2.  I was thinking that I could leave Portal1 permissions to View Recursive and Personalize Recursive for Role Administrators.  Then in Portal2 I could add the AdminPortletInstance to a page.  I was thinking this would allow non Administrators access to adding Pages/Content to Portal2, but because they did not have the Administrator Role, they would not be able to see or manage Portal1.  After running this test, I was wrong.

So, my question is am I missing something.  Or are the security permissions not working the way that I thought they would be.

If there are other ways that I can accomplish this, I'm all ears.

Thanks,

Dave
