Default Liferay Web Content View Permissions

we have a portal (6.2 CE GA3) where people are creating Web Contents.

When a new Web Content is created, it´s visibility is automatically set to "Site-Members". This requires the editors to change this for each individual Web Content:

Is there any way to set this to "Guest Role" as the new standard ?

Do you happen to have only private pages, or are you creating the web content from a private page? This might lead to the default being chosen this way.

I am positively aware of some defaults for the Document Library. It might be that there's a default for Web Content as well that says: If you're coming from the Control Panel and you have private pages, Liferay is better safe than sorry and defaults to site member visibility. If you only have public pages, Liferay will default to public web content in any case.

As you state in the comment below, I'm confident that this is the case. The conditions for the defaults:

  • If content is added from a public page: Default is public
  • If content is added from a private page: Default is member only
  • If content is added from Control Panel / Site Administration and you have any private pages in this site: Default to member only ("better safe than sorry")
  • If content is added from Control Panel / Site Administration and no private pages exist in this site: Default to public

Follow Tobias' suggestion in the comments and upgrade if you need to get rid of the private page.
