What is required for a User in Liferay to access specific content?

For a user to access specific content in Liferay, assigned permissions and roles are essential. This is because Liferay employs a robust permissioning system that controls access based on the roles a user has within the portal.

In Liferay's architecture, permissions are tied to specific actions that can be performed on resources, such as viewing or editing content. By assigning roles to users, administrators can determine what content a user can access and what actions they can perform on that content. For instance, a user with a "Guest" role may only have view permissions for public content, while a user with an "Editor" role might have permissions to create or edit content.

This ensures that access to content is managed securely and appropriately, aligning with the needs of the organization and adhering to best practices around information governance and security. Without the corresponding permissions and roles, a user would not be able to interact with specific content, regardless of other factors like having a unique user ID, a login history, or an active subscription.
