Allow common users to edit their profile (email, image, etc) - liferay

I'm using Liferay Portal Community Edition 6.0.2 CE and I can't set up users (role = User) to change their personal information. Whenever they click in their names (at the top right of screen) they are redirected to home page.
I have these properties in my portal-ext file
admin.default.role.names=User
layout.user.private.layouts.enabled=false
layout.user.public.layouts.enabled=false
I tried Roles -> User Role -> Define Permissions --> My account (set all)
But nothing happened.
Any ideas?

I don't know what was the problem. I restored the database and it's working fine.

I solved this by giving permission to "Power user" role (Roles -> User Role -> Define Permissions --> My account --> Access in My account).

Adding members to a Group as a Group Owner in Azure Portal for an Azure AD tenant

As a POC, I created a guest user, ex: 'OwnerABC#website.com' and made the user a Group Owner. According to the documentation and my group settings, I should be able to add members/modify changes with the group as the Group Owner, but I'm unable to do so. When I login as 'OwnerABC#website.com' in Azure Portal UI, I change to the correct tenant and I do not see any groups or users.
I also tried going to myapps.microsoft.com and I try adding a user. The search returns empty for any user I want to add to the group that I'm the owner of. It then gives me an unexpected error page.
enter image description here
What other privileges does the Group Owner need or is there somewhere else that a Group Owner, who is not a global administrator, need to go to make changes to the group?

Most probably the "User Settings" for "External Users" in your Azure Active Directory is set to "Yes" for "Guest users permissions are limited" setting. When this setting is set to "Yes" by default Guest users aren't able to do certain tasks like enumerating users, groups and other directory resources.
See screenshots below for checking this setting and description.
Go to Azure Portal > Azure Active Directory > User Settings > Manage External Collaboration Settings (under External Users)
On clicking "Manage external collaboration settings" you should see
So now you have 2 possible ways to achieve what you're looking to do:
Change this setting to "No". Once you've changed the setting, try to login to Azure Portal as the external user OwnerABC#website.com again and you should be able to see other users. (Just give it a couple of minutes after changing the setting for this to reflect. It took a little time in my case at least)
As you can understand the setting above is generic and applies to all guest users in your directory. If you want to do something special only for this guest user, then don't change the setting and let it stay at "Yes", but assign an appropriate "Directory role" to user OwnerABC#website.com. This way only this guest user gets to see other users and not all other users.
Assigning a "Directory role" can be done by navigating to Azure AD > Users > Specific User (OwnerABC#website.com) > Directory role > Add role

Display User Personal Bar

I've created a user role, which doesn't inherit permissions from Guest. I've achieved it through portal-ext.properties with permissions.check.guest.enabled=false param. But now, if I logged in with this new user role, I can't log out, since I can see the User Personal Bar (probably because of some permission settings). Any idea how to enable the User Personal Bar for my custom user role? I'm using Liferay 7.1 CE.

All Users Visible to External Users in myapps.microsoft.com Azure AD

We have an Azure Active Directory Enterprise Application which we have invited users to use. We can invite any email address and they can sign up, then they can go to myapps.microsoft.com and see the app, this is all working great.
However, one problem is on the right side of the myapps.microsoft.com (aka https://account.activedirectory.windowsazure.com/r#/applications) on the right hand side there's a group icon:
I click on this groups icon and then All Users, I can see every single user inside our instance of Azure AD, how can I prevent this?
You can enable Guest user permissions are limited from portal.azure.com -> Azure Active Directory -> User settings -> External collaboration settings. This should prevent guests from seeing other users. If this is not enabled, guests can see a full user list at e.g. portal.azure.com.

How to implement Field Level Security in Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011

I am getting a problem in implementing Field Level Security in CRM 2011. I am very new to this technology hence not able to resolve this problem.
This is the steps i have done -
1.Created an Entity names Inquiry.
2.On Form Under Entity created a field named 'Password' with EnableSecurity set to 'true'.
3.Then Moved to Administration -> Field Security Profiles -> Created a Profile named 'Inquiry'. Under Users Tab selected a User(Mike) and kept the Field Permissions as it is i.e 'No'.
4.Now on Login for User(Mike) the 'Password' should be seen encrypted. but it does not display as encrypted.
Steps used to Create User -
1.Under Users & groups created new user and assigned 'Service administrator'.
Please tell me if i missed out sum step or if i have done something wrong.
I think user Mike has System Administrator security role.
This security gives always full access to all secured fields, you can find more information here:
How Field Security Can Be Used to Control Access to Field Values in Microsoft Dynamics CRM
section Which Security Roles Allow You to See Secured Fields?
Hey i got the solution to my question.Posting it so that it may help the beginners like me.
All i did was -
Steps used to Create User -
1.Under Users & groups created new user and did not give the user administrator permissions.
2.Then Under Settings->Administration-> Users -> Selected the user and opened the Form.
3.Then choose Manage Roles from Ribbon menus and selected 'System Customizer' as the Security Role.
Rest process same for applying field security.
5.In the end logged in as a System Customizer and was able to see the changes.
Thank you #Guido Preito for the help.

How to customize which portlets to show in "Add more portlets" menu

I need to customize as to which portlet appear in the "Add more portlet menu" as shown in the image below:
I need to restrict the number of portlets displayed in this menu based on the logged-in user or site (community). So that Site-owner or Site-admin will be able to add only those portlets to their pages which the omni-admin decides for them.
Does Liferay provide any such functionality (through configuration or something) or do I have to create a new portlet and a hook to achieve this?
Environment: Liferay 6.1 CE GA2
Any idea would be very much appreciated.
Thank You
The following is an answer given to the same question in the Liferay forum:
You can limit what portlets can be added to the page from the Administration side and don't have to do any development.
You will need to create a role however and add everyone on it. Here are the steps for achieving this:
Have the user be part of the organization or site that you want them to add portlets to.
Go to Control Panel -> Rolesand make a Regular Role (not an Organization or Site role)
In Define Permissions drop-down menu go to Portal -> Site -> Page -> and check Update as a defined permission.
Go to Define-permissions drop-down menu again and go to Site Application -> (choose Portlet Name that you want your user add to the page) -> Add to page.
Repeat Step-4, if necessary if there are other portlets you want the users to add.
Add this role to your user: Go to Control Panel -> User and Organizations. Click on your User and go to Roles.
Finally you need to go to Server Administration and execute the Clean Up Permissions to clear permissions for the Guest and Power Users roles.
This should now make it so that whatever user is attached to this role they will see an "Add" button on the left hand corner and will only be able to add portlets you specify in the role permissions.
You need to grant the ADD_TO_PAGE permission for the portlets that you want to allow. By default, Community Administrators have quite broad permissions for all portlets. Check the "Community Administrator" Role in "Define Permissions" (Control Panel/Roles/Community Administrator/Action/Define Permissions).
I suggest to see what a community administrator is allowed to do and create a custom role, define its permissions and make your "limited" admins member of this role instead of the default Community Administrator.
there is beter way .
all portlets permissions is checked in its permission table.
go to portlet manager and first un check all for "user"
so its not shown "Add more portlet menu"
