Note: Liferay Portal has three types of resources, each having associated permissions:

  1. Portlet Resource: Permissions associated with the UI of the portlet, such as permission to VIEW the portlet.
  2. Top-Level Model Resource: Permissions associated with the database entity itself, such as permission to ADD a row.
  3. Row-Level Model Resource: Permissions associated with individual rows of the database entity, such as permission to UPDATE a row.

portal:permissionsURL

PermissionsURL is a UIOutput component that generates a URL pointing to the Liferay Portal Permissions UI. If the var attribute is present, the component introduces a variable into the EL. Otherwise, the URL is written to the response.

General Usage

Access the Portlet Resource Permissions by specifying the primary key of a portlet via the resourcePrimKey attribute, and optionally specifying roleTypes in order to control which roles are displayed in the Liferay Portal Permissions UI.
