Restricting access of the ivews

[Former Member]

I have an asp page where links are given to pages in the portal using epcf navigation. Is there a way by which i can restrict the pages displayed depending on the user who is logged in.The asp page will be visible to all but the links will work only depending on who has logged in.

Please help.

hi Aamod,

If you want the links to be enabled for any user assign a particular role to user.

Get the role of the user logged in using this piece of code

IUser user = request.getUser();

Iterator roles = user.getRoles(true);

while (roles.hasNext()) {

try {

String uniqueID = roles.next().toString();

IRole userRole = UMFactory.getRoleFactory().getRole(uniqueID);

if(userRole.getDisplayName().equalsIgnoreCase("elearningclient"))

response.write("Role is :"+userRole.getDisplayName());

} catch (Exception e) {

response.write(""+e);

}

based on the role you can activate or deactivate the links.

regards,

Rahul.

Look into permission. You can assign permission to page and restrict the visibility.
