Admin: permissions manager

This portlet is based on Arena articles. Starting with Arena 4.0, you are recommended to start using Liferay articles instead of Arena articles. Arena articles will still be supported but will not be further developed.

This is where roles and rights are set for Arena users. To use staff functions, special permissions must be set by the administrator in this portlet.

Notes:
The permissions only apply to the portal site where they are set. If a user should have the same permissions on another site, the permissions must be given there as well. It is the display name that is used when searching for a person to give permissions, thus a display name must have been set for the person.

The permissions are represented by the following roles:

Role	Description
Abuse handling	The user is allowed to authorize reviews and handle abuse reports.
Articles	The user gets access to metadata and the images in articles, and rights to approve Arena articles.
Article template handling	The user gets the rights to access Arena article templates.
Geocode admin	Not used
Groups	Not used
Forums	The user gets the right to administrate forums.
Image handling	The user gets the right to upload Arena article images and administer image folders.
Inbox	The user gets the right to send messages to Arena users.
Installation admin	The user gets the rights to handle portal site level settings in the installation portlet.
MyArray admin	Not used
SelfPub admin	Not used

User interface

The portlet displays a search box into which you can type a username. When the user has been found, two list boxes are displayed. The left list box shows the roles available; the right list box shows the roles selected for the user. The roles are applied to the user by moving them from the left list box to the right list box. In the same way, a role is removed from the user by moving it from the right list box to the left list box.
