Domain: Liferay
Version: 6.1.2 CE
Module: Liferay Themes
In Liferay we can deploy any number of themes to and those are available to all the Sites and Organizations. Sometimes we want to develop/deploy theme to certain Sites/Community pages. By out of the box Liferay doesn’t provide this feature but with little additional configuration to theme xml file (liferay-look-and-feel.xml). When building Lifeay we need to add below snippet to the Liferay-look-and-feel.xml file.

That’s it, now your theme would be visible to only specified group as mentioned in tag. Similarly we can configure to visible theme to particular roles with the given scope.
