Goal
This article provides information about the functionality, configuration and workflow behind the filter by permissions feature of the Sitefinity connector.
...
Open the Sitefinity backend, create a user - Sitefinity permissions overview
Assign that user a role by editting the user profile or by click Assign to role
Edit the permission for that role so that the user cannot view a certain content type e.g News
Go to Content and create one blog post and one news (your-site-domain/Sitefinity/adminapp/content/newsitems)
Go to Administration → Search Indexes , create an index and reindex (your-site-domain/Sitefinity/Administration/Search)
Create a Sitefinity page and open it for editting (your-site-domain/Sitefinity/adminapp/pages)
Place the Hawksearch box and Hawksearch results widgets
Open the widget designer of each widget and click the Filter by permissions checkbox
Under Where to search choose the newly created index and save the changes
Open the page in the Frontend and search for the news that was created
