Hi,

I have a model driven power app in which I need to hide a certain tab if the user has a certain security role. I followed the instructions here to do this via javascript.

I now have the problem that the tab is always hidden, regardless of the users security role. My javascript is;

function onLoad(execCtx) {
    const formCtx = execCtx.getFormContext();
    
    const roleName = "Project User";
    const isUser = Xrm.Utility.getGlobalContext().userSettings.roles.get(r => r.name == roleName);

    if (isUser) {
        formCtx.ui.tabs.get("tab_6").setVisible(false);
    }
}

Can anyone help me with this?

Hide tab based on users security role

pls try the following:

function onLoad(execCtx) {
const formCtx = execCtx.getFormContext();
const globalContext = Xrm.Utility.getGlobalContext();

const roleName = "Project User"; // Replace with your exact role name
const userRoles = globalContext.userSettings.roles;

let hasRole = false;

// Iterate through the user's roles to check for the specified role
userRoles.forEach(function (role) {
if (role.name === roleName) {
hasRole = true;
}
});

// Hide the tab if the user has the specified role
if (hasRole) {
formCtx.ui.tabs.get("tab_6").setVisible(false);
}
}

it should fix your issue
