how can i hide an icon link widget based on roles or groups?

[ads4]

I need to hide an icon link widget based on role, for ex. if user has abc role he should not see the icon link widget but if he has xyz role he should see it

Depending if you have the property "glide.service_portal.user_criteria_enabled" enabled, which gives you user criteria for portal pages and widgets. If not, then there is a field called "Roles" on the widget, in where you can add the role required to see the widget. 

But I would properly set it on the instance instead.. You can also use the field "Roles" there to apply the role, or if you have the user criteria, set it accordingly.

Hello,

You can right ctrl + right click on the icon widget on Portal Na click on the Instance option

Then click on three dots and click on Open in Platform

There in the behaviour tab you will see the role option where you can add the roles and restrict it

Hello,

adding a role here would make this widget visible to users with that role, but what if i want to put a check that certain users with xyz role should not see this widget. I.e i want to hide it only from users having xyz

Hello,

Then just create a user criteria.

After creating go to the m2m_sp_instance_uc_can_view table and click on new record and add the Widget instance and the user criteria

To get the Instance name of the widget  ctrl + right click on the icon widget on Portal and click on the Instance option

There in the title you will see the name for the instance:-
