Hide Web Link based on Web Role

(0) Share

Posted on by Community Power Pla... Microsoft Employee

Hello Community,

On the Power Apps Portal, if I have a web link which contains no pages - so in other words just serving as a menu without pages associated to it, is there a way to hide the web link based on the web role or other permissions? I couldn't seem to find any settings where I can do this through configuration. Again, I am not using the web page access control rules because it's not the web page I am trying to restrict here, it's simply the web link, and it's for web link that doesn't contain any web pages.

Would appreciate some pointers.

Thank you!

Hi @Anonymous ,

as far as i know you can check the roles of a user in liquid. ( https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powerapps/maker/portals/liquid/liquid-objects#user ). So, you could place a javascriptoneliner to hide that menueitem when the user has a specific role.
Or just go to the headertemplate and apply a condition while rendering, whether this user is in the specific role and just do not render the menueiten.

Nevertheless: you have somehow to give the code knowledge WHICH menuitem is not to be rendered. Either, you do it by name or you add a custom attribute to the weblink (which i usually try to avoid).

Hope it points in a solutiondirection.
Have fun,
Christian

Hi @Anonymous

We have done this in one of our project.

The approach was

In Portal studio:

1. Create a webpage ex: Test Form.

In portal management:

1. Edit the default link web set and find the newly created page.

2. Add your external url or link

3. Then apply web page access control rule as usual

4. Apply web roles on top of it.

Hope it helps.

The approach from @chleverenz is also feasible. Good learning for liquid and JavaScript.

Give us a shot if you are struck.

Cheers
