    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.

        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:
