Need to hide tabs on a Dashboard when user is dynamic to specific role. Is this possible?

[ChristineP]

II have a dashboard for Resource Management and would like to hide some of the tabs from specific roles.  Is there a way to build access controls to tabs within dashboard?

Hi Alberto,

The previous code is not working for my self. I used that code and wrote in Client script for pa_dashboard table. The actual section I want to hide is not hiding for that user role.

If you respond quickly that would be helpful.

Hi Allu,

It seems to me based on the screenshot in this thread that the poster of the original question actually wanted to hide tabs in a workbench widget based on user roles. The script posted by Alberto is actually meant to hide the sections on a form. You know, these things:

I think what you're trying to do is limit access to a dashboard tab based on roles, meaning that depending on what role a user has he or she will see different tabs on the dashboard. This is not possible unfortunately. A dashboard can only be access restricted in its entirety. All users who can view the dashboard will always be able to view all tabs. If you want user to see different tabs, you'll have to create different dashboard for different roles or groups.

Hopes this helps bring some clarity!
