hiding pages

[sannegrinovero]

Please give me some hint about this very simple question:
In my default-object.xml I have tried putting a <security-constraint> in a page tag.
When logging in as a user the page is still in the menus, but empty.
I would like to hide the page completely, and have it show in the menus only if an admin is logged in. Is this possible?

default-object.xml

<deployments>
 <deployment>
 <parent-ref>default.default</parent-ref>
 <if-exists>overwrite</if-exists>
 <page>
 <page-name>Admin</page-name>
 <window>
 <window-name>ParkingAdminWindow</window-name>
 <instance-ref>ParkingAdminInstance</instance-ref>
 <region>center</region>
 <height>0</height>
 <initial-window-state>maximized</initial-window-state>
 <properties>
 <property>
 <name>theme.renderSetId</name>
 <value>emptyRenderer</value>
 </property>
 </properties>
 </window>
 <security-constraint>
 <policy-permission>
 <action-name>viewrecursive</action-name>
 <action-name>personalizerecursive</action-name>
 <role-name>Admin</role-name>
 </policy-permission>
 </security-constraint>
 </page>
 </deployment>
</deployments>

portlet-instances.xml

<deployments>
 <deployment>
 <if-exists>overwrite</if-exists>
 <instance>
 <instance-id>ParkingAdminInstance</instance-id>
 <portlet-ref>ParkingAdmin</portlet-ref>
 <security-constraint>
 <policy-permission>
 <action-name>admin</action-name>
 <role-name>Admin</role-name>
 </policy-permission>
 <policy-permission>
 <action-name>view</action-name>
 <role-name>Admin</role-name>
 </policy-permission>
 </security-constraint>
 </instance>
 </deployment>
</deployments>

I think that a 'recursive' setting at the portal level is causing the problem. See the security discussion in these two posts:

thank you very much Peter,
that was it.
I was having some extra difficulties as I couldn't find some buttons mentioned
on the docs: some labels in the italian version are missing; I see you have a translator already but if needed I could help too.

Many messages have an english key but are translated only in german;
as I don't know german if you finish english I'm willing to help with italian.
Also many messages which are translated have very english-feeling wordkings.
