Page Security Report

[Michael Binette <je...@adinquiry.com>]

I have a custom "report" portlet that uses the UserManager, GroupManager,
and RoleManager to create a report showing each user with what groups and
roles are assigned to them. That works great. But what we really need is a
list of Folders and Pages each user has access to as well. Right now they
are using a big Excel spreadsheet but of course keeping that up to date is
error prone. It doesn't look like the PageManager in Jetspeed does what I
need. Does anyone think of a way for me to do this using the information
already setup in Jetspeed.

Michael,

There is not a simple way to do this, but it is possible using the 
PortalSite component.

The PortalSite component generates a view of the portal folder/page 
hierarchy that is used to construct menus. One of the most important 
aspects of menus is that they present only what the user is able to 
access and, at the same time, everything they can. Consequently, if you 
walk the Folder/Page proxy hierarchy returned by the PortalSite, you 
will have exactly what you need.

To do this for each user, you need to become the user and then ask the 
portal site for the root folder and recurse from there as the user. You 
can also ask the PortalSite to return a deep menu of all folders and 
pages if you want a comprehensive set of URLs for the user. See the 
Security and Profiler valves for hints on how to do this. Feel free to 
ask any more detailed questions as they come up.

HTH.
