• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When creating a page and defined which portlets can be
  added to the page, the Allow-all-portlets parameter for the
  page
  is set to false.  If a user personalizes the page, that derived
  page also has the parameter set.  If the admin then changes the
  parent page to Allow-all-portlets to true.  Any derived page
  that had been created when the value was false will now not be
  able to add any portlets to the page using the palette.

Problem summary

• When creating a page and defined which portlets can be added to
  the page, the Allow-all-portlets parameter for the page is set
  to false. If a user personalizes the page, that derived page
  also has the parameter set. If the admin then changes the parent
  page to Allow-all-portlets to true. Any derived page that had
  been created when the value was false will now not be able to
  add any portlets to the page using the palette.
  

Problem conclusion

• Set the allpoortletsallowed parameter independent of the
  derivation parent.
