Hi,
I'd like to know how, or if it's possible, to set a default dashboard state based on a user's role.
What I need to be able to do is set the theme, layout and default portlets for a user's dashboard depending on their role. I also need to restrict actions that can be performed on specific portlets, again depending on the users role. For each role there will be a set of default portlets that cannot be removed from the page, as well as a set of portlets that can be optionally added and removed.
I expected to be able to be able to achieve this using a descriptor file (-object.xml) to define the properties and layout in the same way as you would for a portal deployment descriptor, however I have not been able to find any examples.
I have already searched the forums and documentation, however if anyone could point me towards something I've missed, or another working example, then that would be much appreciated.
Regards,
Jason.
hi,
You can configure a default dashboard by editing the default-object.xml file (to find under portal.sar\conf\data\). There you edit the template portal. To give access to special portlets you can add securitiy contraints.
