> The logic issue lies in the isPortletAccessible check in the CMSAdminPortlet. Side effects are:
> because of this check, the Portlet itself is unavailable even if the resources in the CMS are accessible as per the permissions set on the CMS. Behavior contradicts its setup
> usecases affected are:
> 1/ The CmsRootUser cannot access the CMS Admin tool. This completely defeats the purpose of the RootUser who should have all privileges to go in and fix things
> 2/ The CMSAdmin tool cannot be setup for access by Anonymous users
