Hi Michele,

 

Up to Liferay Portal 7.0 version, webcontent view permissions weren't checked for any user: In case somebody wanted to remove VIEW access to a specific article, that was not possible.

That behavior could be changed in System Settings > Web Experience > Web Content => "Article view permissions check enabled", in order to force that permission validation for every user.

 

As this behavior was very odd for most of the users, you always expect permissions to be checked, since Liferay Portal 7.1 version, permissions are always checked, see LPS-73847

 

In order to solve your issue, you have two options:

  • Option 1: go to your webcontents and edit their permissions:  add VIEW permission to guest user
  • Option 2: go to settings configuration and revert 7.1 version behavior, go to: System Settings > Web Experience > Web Content and uncheck "Article view permissions check enabled" for more information see LPS-73847

My advice is to go for the option 1, as sooner or later option 2 settings could be deprecated.

Regards,

Jorge Díaz

Hi Jorge,

thank you for your reply,

I have tried the Option 1 and Option 2.

With option 2 all work fine. But i do not like deprecated option.

 

With option 1 not work fine.

The user already have a VIEW permission.

Based on your reply I'have enabled in the Guest role the  "WEB CONTENT FOLDER" to ACCESS  and all working fine.

 

Thank you Jorge

I'm upgrading from Liferay 6.2 GA6 to 7.1 GA3, and I'm having the same problem.  The web content all has the Guest 'view' permission checked, but nothing is visible to unathenticated users.  I *have* to uncheck the "Article view permissions check enabled" setting in order to make web content visible.  This happens not only with migrated articles, but with newly created articles as well.  This seems like a significant problem.  Is there any further information about this?

I Gary,

It seems that the root folder of the web content is not readable by guest. I solved by bringing the articles into home in a folder with the permissions of viewing by guests. I've setting the permission of article to VIEW by guest user. For All folder with guest web content I've setted VIEW to guest permission.

Hi, I had the same issue migrating from LP 6.2-ce-ga6 to LP CE 7.0-ga7 without problems, later to LP CE 7.2.1-ga2 with the Guest user unable to see the web content published, reading the previous answers about the home folder permissions, I note that actually, you can set the view permission of your home web content folder, there is an info icon next to the search bar, checking the view permission in the home folder for the Guest role solved my issue, hope it will be useful to someone else.
