I am new to using Liferay, and practicing currently on Liferay DXP. I have created various user, and wanted to add different content to dashboard of any user. Such as asset publisher which will list all the assets published by that user. I am able to add this modified content only for Admin User. I am not able to find any setting where I can change the look and feel of dashboard for every user.
Can anyone please help me where I can find it? It might be pretty simple but I am unable to find it.
Thank you in advance for helping me.
You can look at the ADT. Modify the templates as per requirement and on user roles. You won't be able to deliver content as per individual user but to roles. You can also have portlet preferences to show different content on different criteria. This all is possible. You will have to study the subject more. It will be very difficult to detail out the whole stuff here. But yes with ADT in Liferay 7 / DXP you have a lot of flexibility.
I want a message board thread by default visible for a role. No need to set permission each time thread is posted.
Finally I got the solution by myself. All you have to do is create a Role and assign relevant users to that role. After this just add the required permission under " Define Permissions". then go for "Add Portlet Permission". Here, I have selected "Message Board" and given the required permission under it. I hope this will help any newbie to liferay. :)
When i was working on liferay portal community edition. i did this using private page for each group.
There are two type of page for user
1)Public pages
2)Private pages
I didn't found any other option for setting privileges for user.
I am sory, i can't tell you the exact name because worked an year ago.
I have a specific requirement where-in I want only the uploader of the document and a specific team to be able to view it in list / library. 1) is it possible? 2) If yes, how...?
Ok. So I was able to resolve my issue with the steps mentioned below. Soon will be documenting it in form of a blog and share it:
Created the document library and modified the default view to only show documents that were created by/modified by [Me].
Added a new web page to the library and gave exclusive rights to access that to a certain set of users.
Restricted all users from creating a view with the help of creating special permission level where user only had access to upload or delete a document but not creating/updating/deleting lists/views. Also disabled private view creation.
Hope this may be helpful to others too who are looking for restricted views / disabling view creation.
You need to set item level permission through event handler:

#Ashish, in SharePoint 2007 GUI you cannot make a query that will show documents that belongs to a specific group, however CAML specification supports it (Membership tag), it wasn't documented until SP2010, but it works on SP2007 (i'm using it)
However this involves custom coding and this doesn't assign permissions automatically, it just enables you to filter documents by groups.
For a solution without custom coding you could consider making a seperate folder/list for every person/group and set permissions to folder/list accordingly. This will also help performance - it's better to have permissions set on high-level container than having fine grained permissions (i'm just assuming that, because i read everywhere that mass fine-grained permissions are bad for performance)
You may use current user filter web part to filter the document by whom logged in into the sharepoint site by passing the value Dispaly Name
Hi I am little new to SharePoint. Here is my question
How can we make different views for administrator VS logged in user. For instance I need to display the
quicklaunch only to admin and not for user. And user should not see site actions tab.
How can we set this. Please can anyone come up with solution or any blog that we can refer?
Thanks in advance.
This blog will help with code identifying whether a user is an admin (or even just owner) http://blogs.tamtam.nl/duarte/2008/12/09/Sharepoint+How+To+Verify+If+A+User+Is+Site+Administrator.aspx
You can then create a control that uses this condition to display or hide content. See my blog here for an example: http://jcapka.blogspot.com/2009/02/handy-hiding-panel.html
You can also use the built in SPSecurityTrimmedControl but it does not provide a means of explicitly checking if a user is an administrator.

Is there a way to limit the "edit item" permission in WSS 3.0 to only allow a user to edit his own documents or list items? We need the ability for a user to edit only documents/list items he creates - NOT items that someone else created. So, essentially we need a sub-set of the EDIT permission as well as ADD.
Is this possible in Windows Sharepoint Services 3.0? Is there a way to create custom permissions in code or a feature?
WSS has a basic UI for setting item-level permission on list items, but they hide that from the UI for document libraries. If you go into Settings->List Settings->Avanced settings for a list, you'll see the options to do pretty much what you're asking for. However, on document libraries, that UI is not available. The settings it drives, though are avaiable via the object model.
You could set those same properties for a document library like this:
SPDocumentLibrary onlyOwnLib = theWeb.Lists["DocLibName"]
onlyOwnLib.WriteSecurity = 2;
onlyOwnLib.Update();
And that should about do it. However, apparently that doesn't really set permissions; it just controls what the user can do via the UI. If they had another interface to the library (like via WebDAV) or list (like via the web services), it wouldn't prevent them from editing items they didn't create. If you want true item-level permissions, I think you need to go the event handler route.
This post from Matt Morse explains it in more detail, and he even wrote a command line tool to set the property (plus the .ReadSecurity property) for lists and libraries.
If you added an event handler to the document list you should be able to limit edit rights on that item to the user that created the item.
I often have to copy documents from another system into a list in SharePoint, and in that case the edit rights will be assigned to the system user that transfered the document, unless you use the approach suggested by Kirk Liemohn here
Note that item level permissions on large numbers of documents increase the load on your SQL server quite a lot.
here is the solution for your request.
go to the list -> list settings -> Advanced Settings
you will see the section of
Read access: Specify which items users can read
All items
Only their own
Edit access: Specify which items users can edit
All items
Only their own
None
select the options based on requirement. that's it done..

This is an old question, however the problem still exists.
A way that has worked well for me in the past is to use a workflow to configure the permissions when the library item is added.
See http://www.sharepointusecases.com/index.php/2010/03/configure-item-level-permissions-for-document-libraries-part-2/ for details.
I believe that permissions like that can be created through the user interface. It depends on the scale and number of list items you have, but you could do one of two things. First (without having to create scripts) you could give everyone a custom "Read" permission access which would not allow them to do everything you can in in the Read permission but allow them to Add Items. Then on an item-by-item basis, click the item -> manage permissions -> (Give the specific user Contribute permissions on their document).
If you're creating a SharePoint list that this will not be practical, you can create a script to traverse through all items, and will verify the user has contribute permissions (otherwise it will set the contribute permission to that user).
Additionally, you could just give each person their own folder.
Give everyone read permissions on the SharePoint list/document library, but give each person full control privileges over their own folder. This will allow everyone to read everything in a list, but create/edit their own documents.
If you want the 'Only their own' permission on a document library, it isn't there out of the box. But I've created a solution at CodePlex that adds this for Document Libraries - check it out at http://moresharepoint.codeplex.com.
