WebCenter: Blog Security Issue

Users in same group can edit/delete each other blogs.

According to Doc1961188.1, there is a bug filed for this issue ref# Bug 20323352 - BLOG SECURITIES ISSUES.

Solution:

There is small customization needed for OOTB Blog Digest Viewer, i.e. for edit link change the rendered property to

rendered= "#{(row.editable and 
WCSecurityContext.currentUser[row.createdBy]) or WCSecurityContext.userInScopedRole['Moderator']}" /> 

And for delete link change the rendered property to 

rendered="#{(row.canDelete and 
WCSecurityContext.currentUser[row.createdBy]) or WCSecurityContext.userInScopedRole['Moderator']}" />

The sample application can be downloaded from Google Drive.
