Answer 1

Helo Heena,

You must implement in your Theme a logic to restrict this.

I remember that this logic must be included into portal-normal.vm accessing ThemeDisplay Object.

It should be something like this:

set ($expando= $themeDisplay.getScopeGroup().getExpandoBridge())
set ($group = $expando.getAttribute("isAdmin"))
if ($isAdmin!= true)
     set ("Logic to enable or disable options")
end

I hope that this could be useful for you.

Hi if you look into the init.vm or init.ftl and search for my sites you see couple of variables there. I would expect that setting the show_my_sites to false would make the my site option disappear (needs to be tested).

To detect, if the current user is admin i would user permissionChecker.isOmniadmin(). The permissionChecker variable is available in the context. The other option is to get user roles and check if the user has a specific role.

If you are willing to hide 'Go To' option from the dock bar of Liferay for non-admin users, then please navigate to {TOMCAT_HOME}\webapps\ROOT\html\portlet\dockbar and open the 'view.jsp' and search for the if condition "> and replace the same with the ">. Thanks.
