Access control for the Palette

Access control for customizing and working with the Portlet Palette is based on portlet roles, portlet modes, and page permissions. By default, users are assigned to the All Authenticated Portal Users role which only provides read access to the Portlet Palette. Users will only see portlets on the Portlet Palette that they have user access to view.
