Portlets can be configured to have various permissions, like view, configure etc. , based on a role. But there is no way to control when the portlet will be rendered/displayed based on arbitrary rules using user attributes and day/date/time.

There is another parallel ongoing effort to integrate external rules engine which will be useful to target content to users based on rules. This LPS is complimentary to that requirement.
With this feature any portlet can be rendered based on rules. Also, this feature can utilize the external rules engine integration, when ready. For example, any rules engine can be chained/replaced and the rule for that engine can actually be the filename that defines the rules.
Moreover, the implementation of the basic rules engine is such that it can be later folded into the external module, if needed, by refactoring just one package "basicrulesengine".

Hey Prashant,

I think Vihang is working on a rules engine as well right now. So however this is implemented, the render rules should use that piece and not come up with its own rules engine.

Please coordinate with Vihang or Sandeep so we can have one centralized rules engine. Sorry, have to roll it back for that
