Hello, I do not understand the permission for portlets! If I set a role (ex. admin) to a portlet (ex. Helloworld Portlet Wrapper) in the "Root Folder >> Jetspeed Administrative Portlets >> Portlet Application Manager" / "Portlet Application Detail" tab "Portlets" subtab "Security" and relogin with an user (ex. user), the portlet can selected (portlet: "Portlet Selector") for in the customization page. The portlet "Portlet Selector" will filter the portlets with the following code-snippet. (PortletSelector.java) ... if (permissionManager.checkPermission(subject, new PortletPermission( portlet.getUniqueName(), SecuredResource.VIEW_ACTION, subject ))) { list.add(new PortletInfo(uniqueName, portlet.getDisplayNameText(locale), portlet.getDescriptionText(locale))); } ... Why is this portlet selectable? greets, mgsimon
