SharePoint 2010's webpart

Question

I need to create a webpart with some custom properties. They are personalization properties. But when I logged-in by normal user who have "contributor" permission and I see that the normal user cannot change the value of custom properties.

Is there anyone can let me know that what user can change the webpart's custom properties. Or, which code snippet can make the custom properties can change by every user.

Thanks.

Answer 1

Check out this article:

The custom properties you are talking about is not directly tied to any permission. Instead, its tied to the permission of the site in which the page containing the web part is hosted. If you have the design rights on the site, you can update the web part properties. Contributors by default, do not have the design rights.

If you want , you can modify the contributors permission level to include design rights at the site level.

Answer 2

you have to make personalization scope to be of user scope not as shared one
