You can use below code

 

<#if !user.anonymous>
<#-- component code goes here  -->  
</#if>

or

<#if user.id != -1>
<#-- component code goes here  -->  
</#if>

    Hi Vikas,

    Thanks for your reply!,

    I have created two custom components:

    <component id="common.widget.custom-content" name="13"/>

    <component id="common.widget.custom-content" name="14"/>

    13-Managers and 14- Users. 

    If Managers logged-in then, the both custom components should be visible and If user's logged-in then only one user's component should be visible.

    I want to restrict 13- (custom component) for users? How can I do this?

    I tried to add your code in wrapper--> Page head top content.

    <#if !user.anonymous>
    <component id="common.widget.custom-content" name="13"/>
    </#if>

    The above given code is not working.

    And please provide me a clear code. 

     

    Thanks,

    Sateesh.

      sateesh999 are your users who are logged in part of a role?  If you have multiple personas, you may want to go off role rather than logged in/logged out (else a combo may be needed).  Example:

       

      <#attempt>
      <#assign user_has_role = false />
      <#if user.registered >
      <#list restadmin("/users/id/${user.id?c}/roles").roles.role as role>
      <#if role.name?? && (role.name == "Customers" || role.name == "Administrator" || role.name == "Banana")>
      <#assign user_has_role = true />
      </#if>
      </#list>
      </#if>
      <#if user_has_role >

      CONTENT IF IN THE ROLE SHOWN HERE

      <#else>

      CONTENT IF NOT IN ROLE SHOWN HERE

      </#if>
      <#recover>
      <!-- Something bad happened -->
      </#attempt>

        Hey StanGromer can i leverage <#elseif> for another role.name and<#if user_has_role > display this content. ? 

         

        In theory, I'd like to Display role-based links to boards for role A. Display the same links, however, if I have a role B, display 1 more link. While displaying the same content, if I have role 3, display 1 more link or a different set of links. 

         

        Any ideas around the code you already have implemented for numerous roles under the same component?

      Hi sateesh999 

      To call a component from another component, you'll need something like this using the @component FreeMarker directive

      <#if !user.anonymous>
<@component id="common.widget.custom-content" name="13"/>
</#if>

      The @component directive also takes parameters, which you could pass to and use in the custom component you're calling.

      Other helpful directives might be @override and @delegate.

      Here are a few dev guides to take a look at:

      Pass parameters to a custom component

      Override core components
