DefaultSecurityManager is a simple access controller for a portlet that uses a user's authentication level to control access. A user will be granted access to a portlet if his/her authentication level is greater than or equal to the security level that has been specified for the security manager.

If you do not specify a security level for the security manager, it will default to the most secure level of operation
