No. The portlet in the control panel is meant for administrators who would have and need full access.

There is a separate, instanceable portlet for D&M that you can define a custom root on, so you could give the users that shouldn't start from root this portlet for their D&M needs.

Ya Agree , it will work for instanceable portlet for D&M , for displaying a file in particular root folder we can configure..

but

Have created a Structure consists of Document and Media, if select document and media it will open default Root folder to select a file.

If user or content editor select document and Media need to open specific root folder.. is there any configuration to it. any alternative.

When we navigate to content and document and Media it will default open a Home Folder.. Instead can we set any other folder as default folder..

As David mentioned, that option is only available in the regular version of the portlet that you add to pages. The control panel version doesn't have that feature.

For the control panel version of the portlet, Liferay just wants the request parameter set. If your user base is restricted to a small set of users, it should be possible to create a client-side customization via a Userscript that changes the default control panel link to include the folderId for the folder you want to be the default and ask all of the users to install it. Then, the link click would take them where you want them to be.

Otherwise, for the one that appears in the control panel, the only way to change it would be through server-side customization.
