    raguv12ps,

    You just need to put that component in your custom component.

    Add conditions of user roles and add the widget under those conditions, something like below:

    <#assign hasRole = 'Administrator' />
<#if hasRole == 'Administrator' >
<@component id="common.widget.name" />
</#if>

raguv12ps, Yes its possible to show this component using Roles permission API. API can give you the loggedin user roles, using the same you can check the role condition and show the Widget in custom component.

    Parshant  I am able to fetch the roles of the logged in user, but not sure how I can show the TKB widget in custom component.

    Do we have any way to display the entire widget in custom component like the screenshot below. Currently the widget is added in my custom page and roles are configured for visibility for users.

        Parshant  I am able to display the widget using the component id.

        Thank you for the solution.

        One last question is that, can we display a custom page in another custom page similar to a widget using ID.
