Kishore,
After all of that, I failed to answer your question, let me try again:
I think that using the PermissionManager component is indeed equivalent
to using approach #2, but avoids writing directly to the DB under J2.
Yes, a MUCH better solution. You should still take a peek at the
populate-userinfo-for-default-psml.sql so that you can see how the
PageManager will attempt to use the Permissions you create/manage. And
dont forget to enable them using the spring framework definitions in
assembly/page-manager.xml!

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,

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
