What is the best way to customize a custom component to be visible to only some users with some specific roles ??

Parshant  This works great for me!  But I would like to also PREVENT a link from showing up for a certain role.  Could you help me with that?  I'm showing Software Notifications to anyone with role "CARRIER_CUSTOMER" - how can I hide Discussions from that same role?

 

<#function user_has_role (id, roles)>
<#assign liql = "SELECT id FROM users WHERE roles.name IN (${roles}) and id = '${id}'" />
<#assign query = rest("2.0","/search?q=" + liql?url) />
<#if (query.status == "success") && query.data.size gt 0>
<#return true>
<#else>
<#return false>
</#if>
</#function>

<#if user.registered && user_has_role(user.id,"'Administrator'")>

christiewebb,

Your code should be,

<#function user_has_role (id, roles)>
<#assign liql = "SELECT id FROM users WHERE roles.name IN (${roles}) and id = '${id}'" />
<#assign query = rest("2.0","/search?q=" + liql?url) />
<#if (query.status == "success") && query.data.size gt 0>
<#return true>
<#else>
<#return false>
</#if>
</#function>

<#if user.registered && user_has_role(user.id,"'CARRIER_CUSTOMER'")>
<#else>
<a href="/t5/Discussion/ct-p/discussion">Discussions</a><br>
</#if>
<a href="/t5/Product-Notices/ct-p/product-notices-doc">Product Notices</a><br>
<#if user.registered && user_has_role(user.id,"'CARRIER_CUSTOMER'")>
<a href="/t5/Software-Notifications/ct-p/software-notifications">Software Notifications</a><br>
</#if>
