How to hide tabs from My Account portlet in Liferay's Control Panel

Question

Folks,

I need to get rid of all the unnecessary stuff in the left navigation of My Account portlet. I tried to remove the items from /html/portlet/enterprise_admin/categories_navigation.jspf but couldn't find a way to do so. Any hints are very appreciated.

Greetz, Erik

Answer 1

It's pretty easy to configure which tabs are displayed in My Account portlet and doesn't even require modifications of any jsps. You just need to override some properties from portal.properties. I have described this detailed in my blog post.

Answer 2

You don't need to override portal.properties (which requires restart), all you need to do is remove permissions from the appropriate role. All doable in Control Panel on the fly.
