Widget content and configuration

This section describes where the content for each widget is created and the configuration options available for each widget.

When Site Editors add widgets to a page in Liferay, they can select configuration settings that affect the function of the widget. The configuration settings that are specified in Liferay are visible to all users of your website. If a widget is used on multiple pages, Site Editors can specify different configurations for each page where the widget is used.

You can use feature elements in Business Center to control the information that is displayed on your website by user role. For example, you can use the List Prices feature element to hide product prices from users with a particular role. When you specify a feature element for a role, the feature element is in effect for all areas of your website. For example, you cannot allow users to see product prices in the Product List widget but prevent them from seeing product prices in the Product Details widget.
