Change control panel permissions on Liferay

Question

I want to grant permissions to certain user groups on Liferay 6.0.5 so that they can access some parts of the control panel, for example, allow them to change their email. How should I do it?

Answer 1

Changing your own email address is usually enabled by default. See this entry in portal.properties (or override -ext.properties in your portal)

#
# Input a list of comma delimited user types who can edit their own fields.
# Valid types are "administrator", "user-with-mx", and "user-without-mx".
#
# Set a value of "administrator" if an administrator can edit the specified
# field. An administrator is anyone who has the Administrator role.
#
# Set a value of "user-with-mx" if a user who has an email address that
# matches the company mail suffix can edit the specified field.
#
# Set a value of "user-without-mx" if a user who does not have an email
# address that matches the company mail suffix can edit the specified field.
#
# Set all three values if all users can edit the specified field. Set a
# combination of the three values if only a combination of the users can
# edit the specified field.

field.editable.com.liferay.portal.model.User.screenName=administrator,user-with-mx,user-without-mx
field.editable.com.liferay.portal.model.User.emailAddress=administrator,user-with-mx,user-without-mx
