Hiding portlet in liferay


Simple Approach:
It is very difficult to hide or show portlet at user level. To get rid of these type of problem liferay provide us Roles. So we can create roles and on those roles we can easily assign permission on each portlet.
Creating role in liferay is very simple.
Just login as Admin and using dock navigate to control panel , click on Role from left panel and then click Add...for more details refer portal administration guide from liferay.
Once this is done click on define permission and select portlet permission.
e.g. Suppose you want to remove view permission from portlet A then uncheck view.



When you will login as user with that role then you will get message something like this.
"you don't have required permission to access this portlet"
Finally to make this portlet invisible for that role user who is not having required permission to view the portlet.In portal-ext.properties add this line
layout.show.portlet.access.denied=false
