Hide Page in Web Link Set based on Web Access Roles

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Microsoft Employee

Hi,

 

I have a "profile" web link set that is a simple drop down when you click on your name. I have pages in this menu that I'd like to either show or hide based on the user's web role. Basically, I have two pages here "review applications" and "my applications". Staff should be able to view the review applications page but not the my applications page. For applicants, it would be the exact opposite. I can't get this to work for some reason. Here is what I've tried:

 

- Created web roles for "Staff" and "Applicants" and added contacts to each

- Created web access control rules for each scenario. I created "restrict read" rules for each page and added the appropriate web roles from the previous step

- I then associated the webpages with the web access control rules created in step 2. I also did this for localized content.

 

No matter which type of user I sign in as (e.g Staff, Applicant or even unauthenticated) I can still see all of the page links in the dropdown. Am I missing a step within the web link set configuration? I've synced and cleared cache also.

    Few things to try:

    • Make sure that you have cleared the Portal Cache (Sync button or on the portal _services/about when logged in as a portal user with the Web Role "Administrators" assigned.
    • Make sure that you do not have any Web Roles that have the Anonymous or Authenticated tick boxes ticked that are associated with the control rules (as your user can inherit from them).
    • Make sure you have logged out and closed the browser session and login again

    Check Disable Page Validation setting.

    Hi @Anonymous 

     

    Please follow the instructions from @Fubar. In addition, Please check the below thread which may be useful 

     

    https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/Power-Apps-Portals/Web-Role-with-multiple-Web-Page-Access-Control-Rules-not-working/m-p/868412#M6468 

     

    Once you are confident, that you have applied the proper steps then you can delete the default link Web Link Set. It will recreate the Web Link Set once you have done the sync configuration in the design studio. 

    Hope it helps.
