Kishore,
It is difficult for me to know which of these directions is most
applicable to your situation, so here are both:
1. Add an admin portlet that manipulates SecurityConstraints in the
Page/Folder PSML and writes the pages back to the PSML directory using
the PageManager component. See the admin site manager portlets to get
started.
2. Enable the security permissions mode for the PageManager component,
(and disable the PSML based SecurityConstraints), in
/WEB-INF/assembly/page-manager.xml. Then, write an admin portlet to
manipulate the SECURITY_PERMISSION and PRINCIPAL_PERMISSION tables in
the J2 database. There is a DB browser portlet in the Public folder that
you could use to get started I suppose. Also, see the
/etc/sql/populate-userinfo-for-default-psml.sql file used to configure
the security permissions tables.
HTH,
Randy

Hi Randy,
Thanks for a quick reply. Can you provide a brief info on the utilities
of Permission Manager. I understand that it is a service like
RoleManager or GroupManager. In my application I want to create a
portlet for the application admin by which he can control the rights
(viz. Edit, View) for the various roles. That is where I thought the
permission Manager will be useful. Kindly let me know if you can suggest
any other options for such a functionality.
Thanks in advance,
Kishore

Kishore:
Page security can be modified by editing the Page and Folder objects
directly in code. See the various APIs defined for the Page and Folder
implementaion in the page-manager component. The tricky part of this is
figuring out where to place your code... I am not sure if portlets can
access their PSML Page, Folder, or Fragment definitions.
At the moment, security constraints/permissions managed by the portal at
the portlet level are not supported. The intent is that the portlets
themselves enforce their own permissions using the standard portlet API.

Hi
I want to change the security constraints of a page/portlet
pragmatically. Can the Permission Manager be helpful. How can I change
the security constraints pragmatically.
Thanks in advance
