Hide a module in the navigation pane

[Srinidhi Hari E]

Hello,

I want to hide a module 'Custom Assets'   when the current logged in user is not a manager. Is there any way of scripting this?

I tried writing a Before query business rule on the modules table to list all modules except Custom Assets but it hides only in the modules list and not in the navigation pane.

Following a community post, created a dummy module and tried hiding Custom Assets using HTML from arguments, that didn't work either.

Any help?

Thanks!

Modules are controlled by roles. The way to do this is to assign a role to the managers and apply that role to the module.

Hey Chuck,

Is there any way of scripting this or is giving a role the only way to go ?

Roles is what grant access to a module/application in the menu so you have to do it by roles.

Why would you want to script it?

You can always make a script that gives managers role xyz if they are listed as manager, and same script can remove the role if they aren't manager anymore.

Hi,

You can edit the module and mention what roles is required in order to access the module.

Thanks and Hope it helps.
