David Sean Taylor commented on JS2-354:
---------------------------------------

>  If either phase is to be executed, how can or should the portal communicate 
> the fact that access is not granted to the portlet? 

The portlet content could be optionally rendered with the message "Access 
Forbidden"
However I don't think thats always the required behavior
Instead I would make it optional in the aggregator configuration.
The other option will be to render the portlet empty
I'll look into this since Im in the middle of the aggregator refactoring this 
week

The other issue is : should  we support another way of securing access besides 
the policy.
It could be defined in:

* jetspeed-portlet.xml
* PSML fragments referencing page.security constraints



> Provision for portlet-level permissions
