UI Builder access control

I'm new to UIB and looking for advice on how to handle access.

Is it good practice to use the same page for different roles/audiences?

How should I retrieve access information? Custom data source? Something else?


I know form components handle access per ACLs cleanly, but there are a lot of scenarios that aren't covered.

Hi @Fernnn 

 

Handling access in UI Builder (UIB) is best managed using Audiences and Role etc .

Add an audience to your UI Builder page

I understand that convention. I'm asking about the technical "how". Should I make a data resource to query for whether a user can do an action? Is there an OOTB ACL evaluator? Is there some other design convention that I'm overlooking?
