2. Create a new user and assign him this role in the guest site
3. Log in as this user, go to this site and enable staging
4. Add the Documents and Media portlet to a page --> There will be a message saying that you don't have permissions to view this portlet

Thank you Yang for testing, closing as 'Fixed'.

[Josef Šustáček]

Needs to be rolled back and reimplemented, since original fix is causing LPS-34861.

[Daniel Kocsis]

Please test LPS-34681 again, because the new fix should resolve that as well.

PASSED Manual Testing using the following steps:

1. Create a regular role with staging permissions
2. Create a site with a page
3. Add a user who is a member of the site, and has the created regular role.
4. Login as the user and activate staging
5. Add the DMD portlet to the page
6. View the DMD portlet

Fixed on:
Tomcat 7.0.40 + MySQL 5. Portal 6.2.x GIT ID: 34080ddff849c33d7ef0d0e2cea4bba264d11d1f.

There is no permission error, as the user should have permissions to view the portlet. The user is able to view the portlet. LPS-34861 has also been fixed and that ticket has been closed.
