I am using Liferay 6.2 EE sp7 Tomcat bundle on Linux.
We have a use case for the normal regular users to upload, check in and out documents from the document and media portlet.
I see the Checkout and Check in options when I am logged in as a administrator but not as a regular user who is a site member with default permissions.
Question: Is there a way to turn on the Check out/in options for the regular users either with configuration via properties file or permssions etc.?
Steps I took:
As an administrator:
Create a site with private pages only.
create a private page and add document and media portlet and a document and media display portlet to the page.
In a different browser:
I have researched portal properties, portlet permissions and the configuration option of the portlets above. I don't see anything that is hopeful or that works.
Please let me know if there is a work around or configuration I need to do turn this on.
Thanks a lot for the insight!
I've checked it on liferay-portal-6.2-ce-ga5
, but I think it can be similar in your version. You can set this permissions for "regular user" role (I set it for Power User role):
Documents and Media Display > Document: Override Checkout
Documents and Media Display > Document: Update
"Override Checkout" permission requires "Update" permission.
After this checkout/checkin options are available for my non-admin user.
