    This point will be quite hard to handle i think 

     

    The only way is to have switch case by badges & roles to make badges visible (assuming all badges a hidden by default).

    It sounds to be a very hardcoded way because there are no role-related permissions about seeing badges and badges cannot be categorized (which might be a feature request to be done).

     

    As fas as i'm concerned, the best approch would be challenging the functional need :-)

Currently neither community API v1 nor v2 expose the badge visibility status nor the badge revoke feature.

If you consider this a useful API extensions that other communities can make use of, I would recommend submitting a product enhancement idea for Lithium.

 

Can you share why the out of the box badge components won't cut it in your scenario?

    The motive behind recreating the component is to add another layer of filtering viewable badges. We want certain badges to be only visible to users with certain roles and badges.
