How to give default permissions to a Role for a page when the page is created

Is there some configuration where we can provide default Permissions for a Site page for a particular Role?

Similar to the functionality we have in Control Panel → Portal Settings → Users, here we can specify which Roles, Sites or UserGroups can be assigned to the User when the User is created.

To elaborate:

  1. I have created a new Role say, Champion Role
  2. Now I am creating public pages (Page1, Page2 etc) or private pages in a Site, say Site01.
  3. I require that when the Page1 was created in Site01 then the VIEW & UPDATE permission should be automatically assigned to Champion Role.

I know this is possible through a listener hook by having a LayoutListener and overriding various methods, but I am looking for another easier or cleaner solution.

Thanks

  • I think you could and should do it by using the Liferay's Permission management system, and you should avoid extending code to do your task

    Go to Control Panel → Portal → Roles → ChampionRole → Define Permissions → Sites, then go to the Site actions subgroup and check the VIEW and UPDATE, then use the Limit Scope link, where you'll select the site:

    After that, all you have to do is give this role to the right people, e.g like directly applying the Champion Role as a personal role to specific users, by the control panel
