[09:41:44 CDT(-0500)] <jgribonvald> Hi, I have some questions about Features to delegate rights / preferences, and i didn't find anything about such things on JIRA or lists

[09:42:37 CDT(-0500)] <jgribonvald> is there someone who can help me ?

[10:36:28 CDT(-0500)] <jwennmacher> jgribonvald: I don't have much experience in that area, but ask away.

[10:36:56 CDT(-0500)] <jgribonvald> Thx for your response

[10:37:19 CDT(-0500)] <jgribonvald> i'm looking for a way to delegate preference modification permission

[10:37:46 CDT(-0500)] <jgribonvald> for example we are in a context that we deploy the portal for several school

[10:37:57 CDT(-0500)] <jgribonvald> we have one DLM per school

[10:38:47 CDT(-0500)] <jgribonvald> the users can't modify their layout, and it's only few person per schoool that can modify dlm

[10:39:22 CDT(-0500)] <jgribonvald> my problems is that we can't give them the rights to create portlets, it's a "superadmin" who can do that

[10:40:44 CDT(-0500)] <jgribonvald> an i would like to know if we could do something to get rights of these peoples to "copy" an existing portlet to apply the preference for the school or for a DLM

[10:41:55 CDT(-0500)] <jgribonvald> are you understanding/fallowing me ?

[10:42:09 CDT(-0500)] <jwennmacher> yes. checking on something

[10:43:54 CDT(-0500)] <jgribonvald> for me a simple user can't change preference, but a user who can access to portlet manager can do that

[10:45:13 CDT(-0500)] <jgribonvald> but for us we can't show this portlet without to modify it and to add special permission on what they can see and they can do

[10:45:42 CDT(-0500)] <jgribonvald> So I'm looking on the best way to do that, or if something exist

[10:46:09 CDT(-0500)] <jgribonvald> and maybe i missed something

[10:51:09 CDT(-0500)] <jwennmacher> I'm not following your last two posts

[10:53:54 CDT(-0500)] <jgribonvald> for example (i discover the CMS portlet)

[10:54:37 CDT(-0500)] <jgribonvald> to change the content you must create a new portlet with a new preference, is that right ?

[10:55:00 CDT(-0500)] <jgribonvald> sorry not to change but to show a new content

[10:58:24 CDT(-0500)] <jgribonvald> in this case we can't add this portlet to our comunity because our user doesn't have rights to create/edit and see the portlet manager

[11:00:02 CDT(-0500)] <jwennmacher> Sorry - multi-tasking... and I have a meeting to go to. Can we pick this up in about 45 minutes? I have a few thoughts but more questions.

[11:14:53 CDT(-0500)] <jgribonvald> sorry i have to live, but I will go on dev list (drew initiate a mail related to that), so wait my mail (wink)
