Hide Categories of Portlets from Groups of Users

I know I can prevent users from seeing individual portlets in the PSML
Customizer by setting security on the portlet accordingly.

 

Is it possible to set security on an entire category of portlets so that it
does not show up in the drop down list?

 

Thanks

 

Bob

Thanks. That's what I thought however I wanted to be sure before I started
writing code.

That would take some custom code.
Currently there are no security constraints associations on categories

I'll give it a try. Thanks. I knew I could use that to prevent
customization. I didn't realize it would prevent selection.

Sure, just setup a security constraint using the Security Browser (from 
the Admin UI)
There is one already deployed with the default deployment called 
"user-view_admin-all" that may work for you

If you want to use that constraint for all portlet instances in the 
system, go to the Portlet Browser,
find your portlet, edit it, go to the first tab (Information) and set 
the Security Reference there.

You can also override the constraint on a per portlet instance basis 
with the portlet customizer

Do you use Eclipse? It can generate a patch for you.

I've had to modify this unit for some other items (We wanted a different
default for the group selection instead of 'All Portlets')

Is there a way I can submit a patch for just the change I made? I've never
submitted a patch before.

David:

I modified the code to check for PERMISSION_PERSONIZE and added a new
security constraint "user-select_admin-all" 

If a portlet is marked "user-view_admin-all" they can not select it but they
can view it. If I set it to "user-select_admin_all" they can do both.

Personalize is not used, but you may be on to something there
If we check the personalize permission when listing portlets, this 
could work as a special permission to list portlets in the customizer's 
portlet list

RE: Hide Categories of Portlets from Groups of Users

Posted by Bob Fleischman <bo...@mindspring.com>.
I've traced into this. In CustomSetAction the permission that is being
checked is 'View' access. Therefore the "user-view_admin-all" does not
prevent them from selecting the portlet for their home page.

if (JetspeedSecurity.checkPermission((JetspeedUser) data.getUser(),
new PortalResource(entry),
JetspeedSecurity.PERMISSION_VIEW)

I've been looking at some of the other permissions. What is the difference
between 'personalize' and 'customize'?

Bob

Ps. I've got a feeling I'm going to need to create my own custom
CustomSetAction.

RE: Hide Categories of Portlets from Groups of Users

Posted by Bob Fleischman <bo...@mindspring.com>.
I tried this and no joy.

I had a portlet already set to "user-view_admin-all". I logged in as a
regular user, clicked on the customize icon, pressed "Add Portlet", and it
was still on the list.

I have portlets that ordinary users should not be allowed to place on their
home page. So I am hunting for ways to high them from the "Add Portlet"
action.

Thanks

Bob

On a related note. . .

Is there a security setting on a given portlet so that only an admin can add
it to a page?

We have some portlets we only want on public pages and we do not want users
to be able to put them on their home pages.

Thanks
