[jira] Closed: (JS2-228) Not able to put Role based security to a Portlet

["Ate Douma (JIRA)" <je...@jakarta.apache.org>]

     [ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JS2-228?page=history ]
     
Ate Douma closed JS2-228:
-------------------------

    Resolution: Invalid

This has come up before and is not a valid requirement.
The Portlet Specification only requires that Role security can be used *within* a Portlet to decide which features to enable or not (using request.isUserInRole(roleName)).
For the portal, there are no requirements specified and Jetspeed-2 currently implements none...

But, you can use role security in the PSML definition on page and/or folder level, see:
  http://portals.apache.org/jetspeed-2/bronco.html

As you ask for role security on Portlet (Entity) level though, this won't solve your requirement either.
AFAIK, there were plans to implement PSML security on Portlet Entity level too, but so far this hasn't
been implemented. If you would like to see that, please create a new Feature Issue in JIRA for it.
