How to provide permission to Fragments

Issue

• Does DXP have permission feasibility with fragments?

Environment

• Liferay DXP  [all versions]

Resolution

• There is no way to directly control the visibility of a Fragment depending on the user accessing the page.
• These LPS-132082 and LPS-166820 have been created to add permissions on Fragments to control which users can add which fragments to a page.
  • However, feature requests are entirely up to our product team to adopt or not within the product. Please see here:  Requesting a New Feature or Feature Improvement 
    

Additional Information

• The following workaround which users can see if it is feasible at their end:
  This could be handled by Page Experiences. By creating the whole page for a specific role:
  
  • They would avoid a possibly huge performance impact that would come from Liferay implementing fragment based permission checking
  • They would be able to control who gets to see what
  • They would always be able to see the fully rendered page
