Hiding a JBoss portlet

[dwarakanathan thiru]

Hi,

I have a JBoss portal page with 5-6 portlets.
How can I hide certain portlets based on the security constraints of the user?

Or Can I hide portlet based on any other scenario?

Thanks!!

hi..
i have the same requirements ..can find a way to show / hide jboss portlets based on liscencing terms ..
but i found that the portlet related info are parsed into the database into JCR and user info in idm .. is there a way to manipulate this info to show hide portlets based on my dynamic terms

Hi,
Every portlet can be shown or hid based on the user role. You have to define the role at the portlet-instance level.
And assign the roles to the users who need to view the portlet in your portal page.

Learn more about <security-constraint> at portlet & portal object level.

my app requires user to buy license on certain features as and when required and each license has an expiration .. so how could i fit my requirements to disable/enable the portlet according to these terms

Thanks..
