Permissions Problem - JBoss Portal Forums for JBoss Portal 2

[dayal_78]

Hi,
I have successfully installed Forums for JBoss Portal 2.2+
I have created a role in my portal - 'myrole'.
I want all the users having the above role, 'Add' permissions to the forums.

So I edited the file: jboss-portlet.xml under- 'portal-forums.ear\portal-forums.war\WEB-INF'

so that the 'schema' node now has the following additional permission:

<permission>
 <permission-name>Add</permission-name>
 <role-name>myrole</role-name>
 </permission>

But users in the role 'myrole' are still not able to post replies, add new posts to the forums.

Please let me know the solution.

Thanks
Dayal

Hello

Here is a wiki describing Forums' security: http://wiki.jboss.org/wiki/Wiki.jsp?page=ForumsPortletInPortal22DevelopementStatus. So, you should add to your portlet.xml file:

<security-role-ref>
 <role-name>ForumsUser</role-name>
 <role-link>myrole</role-link>
</security-role-ref>
