[jboss-user] [JBoss Portal] - Re: Security constraints for portlets

[PeterJ]

Did you want all four portlets on the same page or on different pages?

For different pages, set it up as follows:

  Object            RoleA             RoleB           Unchecked 
  |     Page1           view               -none-         -none-
  |        Portlet1      -none-            -none-         view
  |        Portlet2      -none-            -none-         view
  |     Page2           -none-            view            -none-
  |        Portlet3      -none-            -none-         view
  |        Portlet4      -none-            -none-         view
Or you could do:

  Object            RoleA             RoleB           Unchecked 
  |     Page1           view               -none-         -none-
  |        Portlet1      view               -none-         -none-
  |        Portlet2      view               -none-         -none-
  |     Page2           -none-            view            -none-
  |        Portlet3      -none-            view            -none-
  |        Portlet4      -none-            view            -none-

If you want all four portlets on the same page:

  Object            RoleA             RoleB           Unchecked 
  |     Page1           view               -none-         -none-
  |        Portlet1      view               -none-         -none-
  |        Portlet2      view               -none-         -none-
  |        Portlet3      -none-            view            -none-
  |        Portlet4      -none-            view            -none-

And as Julien mentioned, the security on the portlets is done at the instance level, not on the window level.

Finally, in jboss-portal.sar/conf/config.xml, change the value of the core.render.window_access_denied entry to 'hide':

<entry key="core.render.window_access_denied">hide</entry>

Without this final change, in the single page scenario the users will see errors for the portlets they are not allowed to view.
