Relationship between cell context menu UI actions and "Requires role"

[bonsai]

I want the UI actions displayed in the cell context menu to be visible only to admins.

I set the "Requires role" for the UI action to admin, but it was not hidden.
Is this not possible to use this on the list screen?

then don't touch the OOTB UI action

Ensure you override that for your custom table

1) open the OOTB one

2) change the table to your custom table

3) add this in condition

current.canWrite() && gs.hasRole('admin')

4) Right click form header and "Insert and Stay"

Actually, I had already tried this, but it didn't work.

The product documentation said that "current" cannot be used on the list screen.

Could this be the cause of the problem?

On which table you are checking this?

May be that table which is task extended has created it's own "Assign to me" List Context Menu button and you need to add gs.hasRole('admin') in that

list context menu can access current object

that OOTB UI action does set assigned_to using current object

Testing with a custom table that extends the task!
