In Page layout edition, you could be able to specify access permission for each portlet AND the access permission is set based on the user memberships

If you signed-in as an administrator like root, you could be able to edit the page by go to Site Editor -> Edit Page.

In layout editing, you will see an Edit button icon on when mouseover on each portlet element. By clicking on the icon, the Portlet Setting form will show up AND you would see the Access Permission tab for managing who can access to the portlet.

Hi Pratap,

I'm not familar with picketbox, so I have no idea how to use it for authorization.

However, I recommend you to take a look at org.exoplatform.portal.config.UserACL service which is being  used in portal to check authorization based on user memberships . I think you might need to implement your own UserACL implementation which is to integrate with Picketbox.
