     [ http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBPORTAL-1733?page=all ]

Sohil Shah resolved JBPORTAL-1733.
----------------------------------

    Resolution: Done

The following two aspects of CMS security and now made configurable:

1/ Ability to configure the CMS super user instead of the built-in admin user. This can be achieved by the configuration inside the portal-cms.sar/META-INF/jboss-service.xml.

<mbean
      code="org.jboss.portal.cms.security.AuthorizationProviderImpl"
      name="portal:service=AuthorizationProvider,type=cms"
      xmbean-dd=""
      xmbean-code="org.jboss.portal.jems.as.system.JBossServiceModelMBean">
      <xmbean/> 
      <!--
      	NOTE: cmsRootUserName denotes a single Portal user that has access to everything in the CMS. Denote this user
      	carefully and should be synonymous to the 'root' user in a Unix system. By default: this value is the built-in
      	'admin' user account. This can be changed to any other user account registered in your Portal
      -->
      <attribute name="CmsRootUserName">admin</attribute>  
      <depends optional-attribute-name="IdentityServiceController" proxy-type="attribute">portal:service=Module,type=IdentityServiceController</depends>     
 </mbean>

2/ The Portal Role that has access to the CMS Security Console for setting up the permissions on the CMS nodes can now be specified in the following file:
     jboss-portal.sar/conf/identity/standardidentity-config.xml
