Control Panel Permission
Junior Member Posts: 96 Join Date: 2/4/14 Recent Posts
Hi, 

I need (if possible) to create a role only to see the private pages of the portal, i think there's no way to distinguis public and private pages with permissions. In that case, it will be viable to create a role only to see all portal pages.

My problem so far is that i can't be able to enable the control panel button in Liferay DXP. I've clicked the "view control panel menu" permit on controlPanel / General permission, but the icon still not visible.

It is possible to create the role i need only with permissions?
How can I give logged users access only to see the pages tree?

Kind regards, 

​​​​​​​Iñigo

I've seen a couple of times that people wanted to make the private pages visible and hide the public pages to certain users - is that what you're after? If it is: That's the wrong solution for this problem. This would not be a permission issue, as one can easily gain the permissions to view the public pages back by logging out. This is rather a means of different interest due to being well known to the system. And the solution for this problem depends on the amount of content/pages/involvement and education of the typical user of this system.

Hi Iñigo,

If you have a situation where some users shouldn't be allowed to see the public pages maybe they shouldn't be public after all, no? Maybe you just want to have private pages with different permissions?...
