Hi All

Using the following Liquid code I can get the current user's Web Roles

<br />

This user has the following web roles:

<ul>

{% if user %}

{% for role in user.roles %}

{% endfor %}

{% endif %}

</ul>

Can I do something similar to get the Web Page Access Control Rules associated with the Web Role?

Thanks

Hi @paulsnolan ,

I don't think you can get that via liquid syntax. Below is the reference of available liquid objects.

Hi @paulsnolan we can't access that via Liquid objects, but I am curious to why you would need, can you give more details on your requirement?

If you setup a Web Page Access Control Rule for a page, basically you don't want the user to see that page, so I am not sure how accessing that via Liquid would help

@ragavanrajan you probably can get it by making a fetchxml query and the appropriate entity permissions - but I don't know that I would recommend it.

Hi Oliver
We are investigating possibilities regarding navigation using icons in a page footer. We have a number of icons whereby if you click one you are taken to a particular page. Each of the pages have a Web Page Access Control Rule. We also have some web roles which group these Web Page Access Control Rules together by function. A user will have one or more of these roles. What we are looking at is how to disable/hide an icon if the user doesn't have the appropriate access. We can do this by role, but our roles have more than one Web Page Access Control Rule. We are looking at what possibilities are available using roles and rules.

Hi, those icons should be using Web Links + images within the Web Links

When using Web Links, this will also be validated against the Web Roles/Web Page Access Control Rules.. so basically the icon/link won't appear if they don't have access

Are you using Web Links to render your footer?

Hi Oliver

We are using <a> tags e.g.

        <a href="{{ sitemarkers["Account Cards"].url }}">
           <img src="/AccountCards.png" style="width:200px; height:200px;">
        </a>

Attached is how the images appear in the body of the page, they are not in the footer. This is just specific to one page.

We have a normal navigation menu in the page header of each page.

How would we use web links for just the one page?

Please see here on how to use WebLinks via Liquid: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powerapps/maker/portals/liquid/liquid-objects#weblinks

you can also refer to the Header/Footer Web Templates to see more examples

You can create your own Web Link Set and add your Links there

I would recommend doing something very simple first, just to test the Access Control Rules.. don't bother with the icons, just call the web link set and render the links, and check the permissions

if that works fine, then you can play around with adding the icons etc
