Apparently the global scope is made to share content across organizations, groups etc. One "simply" needs to make a few adjustments as described in this article
http://www.liferay.com/community/forums/-/blogs/4410909/maximized Being a non-developer I fail to understand and follow these steps :-(
First, define permission action SHARE on model com.liferay.kb.knowledgebase.model.KBArticle in default.xml as follows.
<action-key>SHARED_ARTICLE</action-key>
Then, set a property for shared articles by permission across groups.
## shared articles by permission across groups (organizations, communities, my community).
## The permission SHARE is available only if kb.shared.articles.by.permission is set to true.
kb.shared.articles.by.permission=true
##Nothing shared by permission if this property is set to false.
# kb.shared.articles.by.permission=false
this left me confused: WHAT file do I have to edit? WHERE is that file? does the KB portlet have to be redeployed for the changes to take effect? Is there a simpler way to share the content I have in my global-scope KB across my whole portal??
